This curry has it all. Marinated beef cubes and a whole host of spices pull this surprisingly easy dinner together.

ingredients

1 pound beef, cut in 1-inch cubes
1 lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup ghee
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 dried chiles, finely chopped
2 tablespoons ground coriander seeds
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons black pepper
4 ounces tomato paste
1 1/4 cup beef stock
2 tablespoons garam masala

directions

Sprinkle the beef with the lemon juice and salt, coating it evenly.

Heat the ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and chiles. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.

Add the coriander, cumin, turmeric, ginger, and black pepper. Mix well and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 more minutes.

Add the beef to the skillet. Mix well so the meat is coated in the spice mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the tomato paste and beef stock to the skillet. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the skillet and let cook for 30-40 minutes or until the beef is tender.

Stir in the garam masala and cook uncovered for 10 additional minutes or until the liquid is the desired consistency (it should be thick).

Serve immediately with rice, if desired.

  1. Tlhali REVIEW:

    Very great recipe, even tastes better the following day I will definitely be making it again

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Best home made curry I have made to date. Will definitely be keeping as a firm favourite!!

  3. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    This was an excellent curry!

  4. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Very tasty indeed, this is not the hottest madras I've had but certainly one of the spiciest, lovely sharpness from allowing the raw beef to sit in the lemon juice.

  5. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Found the spice level a little too high (and I don't mean how hot it was) but perhaps that's due to the quality of my garam masala... I'll reduce the amount of it next time. Otherwise, very tasty, with a nice blend of spices.

  6. TonyH REVIEW:

    This recipe produces a rich delicious beef Madras. I find that it benefits from the addition of 2 dessertspoons of sweet mango chutney at the end of the cooking period.
