Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into cubes
- 500 grams Cauliflower, riced
- 3 tablespoons Ghee or clarified butter
- 1 medium Onion, finely sliced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 medium Tomato, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Biriyani masala
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 mix Whole spices (cardamom pods, cloves, and bay leaf)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1 to taste Salt
Instructions
Heat the ghee in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the whole spices (cardamom pods, cloves, and bay leaf) and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds.
Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the cubed beef to the pan and brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat and add the Greek yogurt, chopped tomato, biriyani masala, turmeric, coriander, and red chili powder. Stir to combine.
Let the mixture cook on low heat until the beef is tender and the spices are well absorbed, about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally and add a little water if necessary to prevent sticking.
While the beef cooks, prepare the cauliflower rice by adding it to another pan with a little ghee or butter and sautéing over medium heat for about 7-10 minutes until tender. Set aside.
Once the beef is cooked, adjust salt seasoning to taste. Add lemon juice, fresh coriander, and mint, stirring to incorporate.
To assemble, layer the cauliflower rice with the beef mixture. Start with a layer of cauliflower rice, followed by a layer of beef mixture. Repeat the layers, ending with cauliflower rice on top.
Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let it steam for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh coriander and mint if desired.
