Recipe reprinted from Canada’s Best Slow Cooker Recipes by Donna-Marie Pye. Publisher Robert Rose Inc.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat canola oil over medium-high heat. In batches, add beef strips and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per batch or until browned on all sides. Add onions, garlic, paprika, cumin, cinnamon and curry paste (or curry powder). Saute for 2 minutes or until fragrant. With a slotted spoon, transfer mixture to slow cooker. Add potatoes and carrots. In a small bowl, combine tomato paste, cocnut milk, water and salt; mix well. Add to slow cooker; stir to combine with meat and vegetables. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 6 hours, until vegetables are tender and stew is bubbling. Serve sprinkled with cilantro.
