Best beef curry

Ingredients

  • 1kg of beef
  • 1 onion minced
  • 2 table spoon of garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon of ginger minced
  • 1 tbsp chilli powder
  • 1 tbsp numeric
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp coriander
  • 1 tbsp garam masala

Directions

  • Mix up all the spices and aromatics with the beef and leave for 15-30 minutes to marinate.
  • Add a minimal amount of oil to a pan and fry some onions,1-2 bay leaves and 1 - 2 finger sized sticks of cinnamon until the onions turn translucent.
  • Add the marinated beef then keep on stirring the beef until a fair amount of fat has been rendered and some water is released. Add some salt at this point.
  • Add some water and simmer on low heat until the beef is fork tender. The sauce can be as thick or thin as you like, I think thicker is better and season to taste along the way.
  • Serve it with rice or parata (flaky flat bread).
  • Bonus - This is extra damn good if with some pickled shallots. Just slice some red onions or shallots roughly, then add in some sliced green peppers and vinegar or lime juice. Season to taste. This pickled shallot takes the beef + rice to the next level.
