Can I make this in a slow cooker?

You can! Add the carrots and potatoes from the very start, and cook on low for eight hours or until the meat is tender.

Where can I find coconut milk?

Coconut milk comes in a can, and is usually in the international foods section of your supermarket.

The cumin and paprika give it just the right amount of sass, but not too much (even for me, the ultimate spice wimp. Yes, I buy mild salsa.)

Notes

- Coconut Milk: You can use either the full fat or the low fat kind. Although I’m here to tell you that I love the full fat for its extra creaminess!

- Potatoes: We love Yukon Gold potatoes for this recipe, but you can use peeled Idaho or Russet potatoes, or halved baby potatoes.

- Beef: We like Beef Chuck Steak for this recipe (which you can sometimes find already cut into chunks) but you can also use Top Round or Bottom Round.
