- 3/4 cup light coconut milk
- red curry paste
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 lbs rice noodles
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 cup cilantro or basil leaves
Prepare
- 2 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated peeled
- 1 lb lean beef stew meat, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 oz snap peas, sliced crosswise
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
- lime wedges, for serving

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together ¾ cup light coconut milk, 1 to 2 tablespoons red curry paste, 2 finely chopped garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt until combined.
-
Step 2.
Add 1 pound lean beef stew meat (cut into 1-inch pieces) to the slow cooker and toss to coat evenly with the coconut milk mixture.
-
Step 3.
Cover the slow cooker and cook until the meat easily pulls apart, 6 to 7 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high.
-
Step 4.
While the beef is cooking, about 15 minutes before serving, place 8 ounces rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit until soft and pliable, 8 to 15 minutes (timing depends on noodle thickness). Drain and set aside.
-
Step 5.
Gently fold 3 ounces sliced snap peas, ½ thinly sliced red onion, and 2 tablespoons lime juice into the beef mixture in the slow cooker. Cook, covered, for 3 minutes.
-
Step 6.
Fold ½ cup cilantro or basil leaves into the beef mixture.
-
Step 7.
Serve the beef mixture over the drained rice noodles. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts (if using) and serve with lime wedges if desired.
