Notes

Doneness check: The beef is ready when it shreds easily with two forks, if it still has resistance, it needs more time rather than more heat. Cooking on low and letting it go the full 6–8 hours gives a more tender result than rushing it on high. Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The flavors often deepen overnight, so it's even better the next day. Freezer: This curry freezes well. Cool completely, then transfer to freezer-safe containers or zip-top bags and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. Reheating: Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave. If the sauce has thickened too much in storage, loosen it with a splash of broth or coconut milk, not water, which dilutes the flavor.
