Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kg beef (chuck, cubed)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions (sliced)
- 2 large tomatoes (chopped)
- 4 medium garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 optional fresh green chilies (sliced)
Instructions
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and allow them to crackle for a few seconds.
Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the beef chunks and brown them on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes, coriander powder, turmeric powder, chili powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper.
Mix well to combine all the ingredients and coat the beef evenly with the spices.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for about 60 minutes, stirring occasionally. The beef should be tender by the end of this cooking period.
Stir in the fresh cilantro and green chilies (if using) just before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
