Karahi Gosht (Beef) Recipe

 

Ingredients:

• 500g beef (boneless, cut into small cubes)
• 3 tablespoons oil or ghee
• 2 medium onions (finely chopped)
• 3 medium tomatoes (chopped or pureed)
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• 2-3 green chilies (sliced)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
• Salt to taste
• 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
• Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)
• Fresh ginger (julienned, for garnish)
• Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

1. Heat Oil: In a large karahi (wok) or a deep pan, heat the oil or ghee over medium heat.

2. Cook Onions: Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Then add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

3. Add Ginger-Garlic: Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Cook the Beef: Add the beef cubes and cook on high heat, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned on all sides.

5. Spice it Up: Add coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well, ensuring that the beef is coated with the spices.

6. Add Tomatoes: Add the chopped tomatoes or tomato puree. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes break down and form a thick sauce.

7. Simmer the Meat: Lower the heat, cover the pan, and let the beef cook on low heat for about 30-40 minutes or until tender. Stir occasionally and add a little water if needed to prevent sticking.

8. Final Touches: Once the beef is tender, increase the heat to dry out any excess liquid. Add garam masala, sliced green chilies, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

9. Garnish and Serve: Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and julienned ginger.

10. Serving: Serve hot with naan, chapati, or steamed rice. You can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra kick.
