  1. 1

    Pat beef dry with paper towels, trim, and cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch pieces. Place in a bowl with cornstarch, salt, and pepper; toss to coat beef evenly.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef and cook, turning often, until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Do not overcrowd the skillet to ensure browning. Repeat with the remaining beef, using any residual oil in the skillet. Do not wipe the skillet clean. Place the browned beef in an ungreased slow cooker.

  3. 3

    Once all the beef has been browned, lower the heat to medium and add the curry paste, stirring to release any browned bits from the skillet. Add the beef broth and coconut cream to the skillet, stirring to combine. Pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker. Add the potatoes; cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or on LOW for 6 hours, or until the beef is very tender when pierced with a fork.

  4. 4

    Remove the beef and potatoes to a large bowl. Carefully pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a heatproof glass measuring cup or bowl and let stand until the fat settles on top, about 2 minutes. Remove the fat from the surface with a ladle and discard.

  5. 5

    Pour the remaining liquid into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat without stirring. Whisk the remaining cornstarch with cold water in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the boiling liquid in the saucepan, whisking until the sauce thickens, 2 to 5 minutes. Return the meat and potatoes to the thickened sauce; stir in the lime zest and juice.

  6. 6

    Serve family-style, or place rice into bowls, spoon the beef, potatoes, and sauce over the rice, and garnish each portion with cashews, cilantro, sliced chile, and a lime wedge.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
