Like I have stated in my personal info that I am also a passionate cook, there are times when I experiment with dishes without fear as my husband eats lovingly all i cook. So during one such experiments I came up with the following beef recipe. I myself don't eat red meat but love cooking for my husband.

I had not kept a name for my beef curry so I guess I will call it Random Beef Curry.Below are the ingredients for Random Beef Curry.

Ingredients for marinade: 

Beef - 1/2 kg
Onion - 1 large sliced fine
Corainder - 1 cup chopped fine
Green Cardamom - 4
Cinnamon Stick - 1" inch
Peppercorns - 6
Green Chilli - 1 non spicy variety chopped fine
Soya Sauce - 1 tblspn
Tomato Ketchup - 2 tblspn
Vinegar - 1 tblspn
Ginger Garlic Paste - 2 tblspn
Sambar powder - 2tspns
Meat Masala - 1 tspn
Salt as per taste

Ingredients for curry:

Onions - 2 large sliced fine
Potato - 2 small sliced like french fries
Tomato - 1 large sliced
Oil  - 1/2 cup
Salt as per taste

Method:

Take a heavy base vessel with a small mouth, add oil. To the hot oil add the potatoes & fry till brown, keep it aside. In the same oil add the onions & fry well till browned, to this add the tomatoes and continue to fry till oil leaves the sides.

Now add the beef and fry on high flame continuously to seal the meat, once the meat is sealed and the aroma of the marinade starts to waft add water as per your liking ( I like my curry slightly thick so I add only a cup or two of water). 

After adding water seal the vessel with a tight lid and over the lid on all sides with a silver foil just like we do while cooking on dum. Cook for an hour with closed lid, then check the curry if you are satisfied with the consistency the garnish with fresh coriander & serve hot with bread or steamed rice.
