Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Beef is a weeknight winner. Tender beef slow cooked in coconut milk with curry, peanut butter, and spiced. Filled with veggies and served with rice for a new favorite for a busy night.

There are so many things I love about cooler temps and fall weather, but one of my favorite things is cooking with my slow cooker to make delicious and savory stews.

This recipe is for Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Beef, and it is everything you could want in a unique beef stew.

I fill this stew with hearty beef and slow cook it in creamy coconut milk, curry paste and peanut butter. The result is a stew with some of the most flavorful and tender meat around! This recipe is savory, but with a touch of sweet from the coconut milk and honey, and a touch of heart from the curry paste. However, not to worry, because it is not overly spicy and is still kid friendly!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use chicken in this recipe?

Yes, keep the chicken as a larger piece while cooking. Chop and add back to the slow cooker.

Is the Thai red curry spicy?

On it's own, sure. However, the spice leave is very manageable and my 3-years-old event ate this.

Can I use a lite coconut milk?

You can, but you will not get the same rich creamy consistency. I do not recommend a low fat coconut milk.

Can I add more veggies?

Sure! Just chop and add with the other veggies.

    Coconut makes pretty much any curry super delicious. I love it. But coconut and peanut butter, that's absolutely awesome. I adore Thai flavours too. I'm really pleased to see you using brown rice too, I eat it far more than white..
