AUTHENTIC NADAN BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Heat coconut oil in a pressure cooker.
• Add the sliced onions and tomato and allow to cook for a minute.
• Stir and saute well till softened, golden and reduced/thickened.
• Add the finely chopped shallots, garlic, ginger, and green chili.
• Sauté well till softened, cooked and reduced as well.
• At this point, add all the spices: coriander, chili powder turmeric, and garam masala. Stir and allow the spices to cook on a low flame. Add curry leaves. Stir till the spices are aromatic.
• Turn off the flame at this point to mix in the fresh coriander leaves and beef. Stir well, tossing to coat the beef well with this masala mixture.
• Also, add rock salt.
• Splash in just a little water to wash off your ladle and moisten the beef.
• Cover and pressure cook on high for the first 2 steam whistles.
• Proceed to turn down the heat to low and cook for another 6 steam whistles.
• Allow to cool, before opening.
• This curry tastes even better if you allow it to rest.

SWEET BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Dice the steak into cubes (the thickness of your steak will govern the size of the cubes, but if possible don’t exceed ¾-inch cubes).
• Brown the meat in the pan with the oil.
• Add the stage two ingredients, and bring to the boil. Immediately reduce heat and simmer covered for 1½ hours or until the meat is tender (i.e. falls apart).
• Steam your rice closer to the end of the cooking time. (2 cups rice, 3 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, microwave for 14 mins).
• Stir in the blended cornflour and water (stage 3 ingredients) and keep stirring over medium heat until the mixture bubbles (not quite boiling but close) and thickens.
• Serve curry on bed of rice.
• I always do this in the pressure cooker which produces a far superior result as far as I’m concerned, however if planning to do it on the stovetop you may need more than the 1.5 hours specified, and beware of the liquid levels so as to prevent sticking.

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large pan, brown 1/3 steak on all sides, stirring constantly, drain on absorbent paper, repeat with remaining oil and steak in two batches. Drain excess oil from pan. * It is important to seal meat quickly and brown thoroughly for a good coloured and well flavoured curry. Heat butter in pan, add onions, apple and curry powder, cook stirring until onions are soft. Return steak to pan. Pour in combined crumbled stock cube and water, add sultanas. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer for 1 hour or until steak is tender. Blend cornflour and extra water, add to curry, stir until mixture boils and thickens.
