Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 large onions, finely chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4 cloves
  • 2 cups beef stock or water
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Directions

  1. Marinate the Beef: In a large bowl, combine the beef cubes with white vinegar, salt, and turmeric. Mix well, cover, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

  2. Prepare the Spice Paste: In a blender, combine chopped onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground coriander, red chili powder, and a splash of water. Blend until a smooth paste forms.

  3. Cook the Spices: Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds; when they begin to splutter, add the prepared spice paste. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the paste is fragrant and the oil starts to separate.

  4. Add Tomatoes and Whole Spices: Stir in the chopped tomatoes, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Cook for another 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down and integrate into the sauce.

  5. Incorporate the Beef: Add the marinated beef to the pot, stirring well to coat the meat with the spice mixture. Cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the beef to brown slightly and absorb the flavors.
