This was good. BUT...it definitely needs spicing up. I'm pretty good at "doctoring" my recipes, and this was one of them. The heat was just right, but I added almost twice the curry, garlic salt and lots of pepper. Served it over rice.

I don't know if I did something wrong, but I followed this recipe to a T and it tasted and smelt awful! Would not make it again.

OK. It was good, somewhat spicy, and did make the house smell rather nive while it cooked. It didn't seem to fill up the crock pot, I'm contemplating making it again with a load of potatoes or other starch added to cook with the meat and sauce. Or perhaps a load of vegatables to make a stew...

I made this a couple days ago and followed some of the suggestions in the reviews such as flouring the beef and using a can of diced tomatoes mixed with diced jalapenos instead of just tomatoes. I didn't find it spicy (as in hot) in the least. I found myself adding another tablespoon of curry powder at the end along with 3 dried chili pods to try to give it more heat. The beef came out very tender, but despite the flour, the broth didn't really thicken. It wasn't bad and I guess my expectations were influenced by seeing th word "curry" in the recipe name so I was expecting something a lot hotter and thicker. It is a good, simple beef stew though.

This was fantastic! I served it over Jasmine rice. I definitely recommend using a good quality curry (the quality of curry you use will make or break the dish) Morton and Bassett is one of my favorites and easy to find. We will definitely make this again and it was quite healthy too. I think it might be tasty to add a red or green bell pepper. I didn't find this spicy at all (but I cut the seeds out of the jalepeno since I don't care for much spice).

Great flavor, but not spicy. For more heat, add another jalapeno or curry paste. I used extra lean beef stew meat and it was still very tender.

This stew was great. Easy to prepare and so tasty. I was disappointed and thought it would be much spicier. I added 2 jalapenos and still had no kick. If you like your food hot like me, add more peppers. Maybe next time I'll even try different types of peppers.

This was very tasty and I served it over Jasmine rice. I added extra jalapenos and thickened it with a little flour at the end. Good recipe for a cold day.

We absolutely flipped for this recipe. I am making it again tonight and inviting the neighbors! I followed the recipe exactly adding a tbsp of curry pouder at the end.. Oh, I used curry powder instead of curry paste because that was all I had. DELICIOUS!!

I'm torn. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for this after I made it? The beef was delicious (texture, etc), but the dish just seemed overpowered by the spice. There really wasn't a depth of flavor...just pure heat. I doubt I'll do this recipe again.

Wow this is so good! I doubled the recipe and the only thing I changed was that I added the amount of curry at the beginning and again near the end. This had plenty of spice and curry flavor. Served over rice with Syrian green beans from this site.

Great recipe, easy to make. I left out the jalapeno peppers because I did not have any, and added another tsp of curry near the end of cooking.

I added sweet potatoes, parsnips and carrots to it. I also added extra curry, a touch of ginger and garam marsala because I love the spices. I cooked it in a deep frypan on simmer. I also coated the meat in flour and it came out perfect and amazing.

Make sure you buy a tender cut of meat, or tenderize prior to cooking. I made this recipe as stated, and the beef was very tough.
