Instructions
(Hide Photos)Slow cooker: Brown the ground beef and then add to the crockpot with the leek, garlic, ginger, red curry paste, tomato sauce, soy sauce, lime zest. Cook on low for 4 hours. Open the lid and stir in the coconut milk and lime juice. Let cook for 15 minutes longer and serve. If you are cooking this in a large slow cooker, I recommend doubling the recipe. This freezes well.
Stovetop: Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add the leeks and cook for 4 minutes. Add the curry paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the beef, garlic, and ginger and cook until beef is no longer pink. Add the tomato sauce, lime zest, and soy sauce. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and fresh lime juice. Let cook for 2 more minutes.
