Preparation steps 

1. Cut and marinate the beef 

First cut the beef into small pieces. Then marinate the beef pieces with little salt, turmeric powder and half a teaspoon of ginger paste and marinate them for 15 minutes. 

2. Heating the oil 

Heat oil in a pan and fry the chopped onions till golden. Add the ginger batter and garlic after the onions are browned, and cook for a further two to three minutes. 

3. Include the spices and tomatoes 

Add chopped tomatoes, green chilies, fenugreek powder, garam masala powder, and salt to taste when the onions, garlic, and ginger have been thoroughly cooked. Stir till the oil escapes from the spices and the tomatoes are cooked. 

4. Cook the beef 

Now add the marinated beef pieces to the pan and mix well and cook for 5-6 minutes. When the beef pieces are mixed in the spices, add a cup of water.

5. Drying water

Cover the pan and let the beef cook on medium heat for 20-25 minutes, so that the beef becomes tender and the spices penetrate well. If needed, you can add some water. 

6. Garnished with garam masala and coriander leaves 

Once the beef is cooked, sprinkle garam masala powder and chopped coriander leaves over it. Mix and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Some tips for making beef recipes 

1. The type of cut of beef is important 

When cooking beef, using the right cut is crucial. For example, some parts of meat may take longer to tenderize, while others cook faster. Sirloin or chuck cuts are good for beef, as they cook quickly and taste great.

2. Marinate the beef properly 

Marinating the beef makes it more tender and tasty. Using certain ingredients like ginger, garlic, turmeric, yogurt, or sour cream will make the beef more tender. Marinating beef for 30 minutes to an hour gives better results. 

3. Do not pour extra spices 

Never cook with too many spices. Too much spice can overpower the flavor on the one hand, while on the other hand it can reduce the flavor of the beef. Use spices as per taste and maintain proper quantity. 

4. Be patient while cooking the beef 

Be patient while cooking the beef and allow the meat to cook properly. Cooking in a hurry can make the beef tough rather than tender. Allow some time for the meat to cook well. 

5. Use garam masala 

Spread garam masala after cooking to get the best taste of beef. It enhances the taste and aroma of cooking. 

6. Note the amount of water added 

Water should be added while cooking but not too much. Excess water can reduce the meat taste and turn it into a soup. So, add a little water and give it time. 

Serving suggestions 

Now, your awesome beef recipe is ready! But to make it more flavorful and fulfilling, I would like to suggest some side dishes:

1. Bread or paratha 

When the beef sauce and spices become thick and fragrant, it is absolutely wonderful eaten with golden, buttery bread or laccha paratha. Serve with hot bread or roti of your choice. 

2. Pilaf or white rice 

The spices and sauce of the beef go very well with the rice. If you want a slightly fuller meal, serve the beef with a plate of delicious pilaf or white rice. The rice becomes more delicious when mixed with the sauce. 

3. Garnish with coriander leaves and mint leaves 

Scatter the chopped coriander and mint leaves over the beef. It will not only enhance the color and flavor of the food, but also bring freshness. 

4. Grilled vegetables 

Some grilled or fried vegetables, such as carrots, eggplant, or cucumber, can be served with the beef. It will creatively enhance the nutritional value and taste of your food. 

5. Chutney or salad 

A simple salad made with fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions goes well with beef. Besides, serving beef with sweet or sour chutney adds a new dimension to the dish.

2. Mint leaves instead of coriander leaves 

You can use mint leaves instead of cilantro in beef sauce. The taste of beef becomes more fresh and fragrant with mint leaves.
