This stew is made in our favorite weeknight-friendly, low-effort vessel: the slow cooker. The morning of, cook the onion until it softens, then add coconut milk that's been flavored with curry paste and a touch of cayenne pepper. Whisk in chicken broth, lime juice, and honey, and the base of your stew is made. Combine it with the steak and red potatoes in the slow cooker and let it do its thing. Right before serving, stir in the snow peas, more curry paste, and fresh pineapple. Instead of the pineapple, you can use chopped fresh mango or papaya for a flavor change.
