Ingredients

• 500 grams beef steak (cubed)
• 150 grams plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion (finely chopped)
• 200 grams tomato puree
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, red chili powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

Add the cubed beef to the marinade, ensuring every piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for best results.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato puree and cook for 5-7 minutes until the oil begins to separate from the puree.

Step 5

Add the marinated beef to the pan, including any remaining marinade. Stir well and cover the pan. Cook the beef on medium-low heat for approximately 30 minutes or until the beef is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Once the beef is cooked, sprinkle garam masala over the curry and stir to combine. Adjust salt to taste, if necessary.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with your choice of rice or naan bread.
