Red curry with beef or lamb

Here is a very simple meal that only takes minutes to throw together in the slow cooker.  Leave to simmer all day and dinner is served. I also make this with chicken thigh fillets and korma paste instead of red curry paste but both ways are very delicious.  You can serve it with rice but tonight I made some cauliflower fried rice to go with the curry instead.
