Leftover Beef Curry

If you have followed Recipe This for a while, then you will know that I am obsessed with using up leftovers.

I love to repurpose the ingredients already cooked and then make it into something even better.

What I love about a leftover beef curry is that you can take a small portion of leftover beef, add in veggies and even potatoes and it will make a huge portion and will easily feed six people for dinner.

For example, this is how many bowls we filled of the beef curry once the slow cooker had done its magic.

Leftover Beef Curry Ingredients

Leftover Beef Curry Ingredients

Beef – We chopped up some leftover roast beef from some topside, but you can use any leftover beef. Think leftover steak, silverside, prime rib, brisket etc.

Puree – To keep this leftover roast beef curry simple, we used a selection of purees that we can then squeeze into the slow cooker with the other ingredients. Such as lemon grass, garlic, ginger and tomato.

Veggies – Just like making a beef stew we loaded it up with veggies including onion, carrots, sweet potatoes, and peas.

Tinned Tomatoes. I also recommend adding in some tinned tomatoes and these can be the base of your simple beef curry. Plus, you will be amazed how good a curry is in the slow cooker with them.

Seasoning – Then for seasonings we have just kept it simple with salt, pepper, cumin, turmeric, coriander, paprika, garam masala, and korma curry powder.

Yoghurt – I also recommend just before serving, to stir in some Greek yoghurt. It gives it that amazing creamy curry texture. Though if you want to keep the calories low you can use fat free yoghurt for this.

Then for the kitchen gadgets that we have used in this leftover roast beef curry it has just been our Crockpot. We have this one and its wonderful for many types of slow cooker recipes and also great for easy weeknight dinners.

Plus, we recommend you head over to our slow cooker recipes category as we have more than 100 tried and tested slow cooker recipes and have been using slow cookers for 18 years.

How To Make Beef Curry?

slow-cooker-leftover-beef-curry-step-by-step
  • Peel. First peel and dice your onion, sweet potatoes and carrots and load into the slow cooker.
  • Dump. Next dump into the slow cooker your seasonings, purees, and tinned tomatoes. Then mix well.
  • Cook. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 3 hours on high or low for 6 hours.
  • Stir. When the slow cooker is done stir in frozen garden peas, leftover roast beef chunks, and cook for an extra hour.
  • Serving. Then when the slow cooker is done stir in Greek yoghurt, adjust seasonings if needed and serve with warm naan breads.

And I am sure you can see now why this beef curry slow cooker recipe is a true favourite of mine.

How Long Should You Slow Cook Beef Curry?

We recommend 4 hours on high for a slow cooker beef curry. This allows your ingredients to be fully cooked but not overcooked so that they turn to mush. As well as time for your beef to reheat in the slow cooker.

Notes

Leftovers. Note we had a lot of leftover beef and I wanted to make a good batch for the freezer. You’re welcome to use less, and it will still be a delicious leftover beef korma.
Spicy. I love a mild beef curry like a korma, but if you want more of a kick to your curry, then you can add extra curry powder or swap mild curry powder for a madras.
Adjust. Note that at the time of adding the peas it can often be too thick of a curry with all the ingredients that have been added. If this happens just add another can of tinned tomatoes.

    Sam thank you so much for this recipe. My wife murdered a huge beef joint yesterday and was looking for a recipe to rescue what I could. I knew it would need slow cooking as it was tough as boots! Followed it to the letter (apart from turning to low when the meat went in and cooking ing for 2 hours)

    Not only did it turn out edible, but was so tasty too. Can highly recommend this
