Beef Fry Recipe - Kerala Food

This is one of my fav beef preparations. I like beef in any form, but this one has an edge over other beef dishes . I’ve posted a similar recipe sometime back. The main change in this recipe is the use of small onions.

Beef Fry Kerala Style

 

Ingredients

• Beef – ½ kg
• Onion – 1 big, sliced finely
• Small onion – ½ – ¾ cup, sliced
• Chili powder – ½ tbsp
• Coriander powder – 1tbsp
• Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
• Ginger & garlic – ½ – 1 tbsp, crushed
• Vinegar – 2 tsp
• Aniseeds/fennel – ½ – 1 tsp
• Cinnamon – 1 inch piece
• Cloves – 4-5
• Star anis – 2
• Garam Masala – ½ – 1 tsp (optional)
• Bite size coconut pieces (thengakothu) – ¼ – ½ cup
• Coconut oil
• Salt
• Curry leaves

Instructions

1. Powder aniseed, cinnamon, cloves and star anis and keep aside. Combine the powdered spices, ginger garlic, small onion, bite size coconut pieces,chilli, coriander and turmeric powder, vinegar, salt, curry leaves & beef. Make sure that beef is marinated well with the spices. Pressure cook the marinated beef till it is done. I usually dont add water while cooking, but if you want you can add 2-3 tbsp of water. If there is any water left, after pressure cooking, cook till the water is dried.
2. Heat oil in a pan and saute the onions, till it becomes golden brown. Add the cooked beef & curry leaves. If you want you can sprinkle garam masala at this stage. Mix well. Stir over a low flame, till it is roasted well.Serve with rice and kachimoru or chapathi, puttu, appam etc;

Notes

Notes: The original recipe doesnt call for garam masala, I added it since I like it to be spicy. You can be a bit generous with oil, if you want a well roasted/fried beef. Recipe adapted from: Flavours of Kerala
