Chilli Beef Kerala

 


INGREDIENTS

  • Beef : 400 gms
  • Soy sauce: 1 tbsp + 1 tsp
  • Kashmiri chilli powder: 1 tsp
  • Tomato sauce: 2 tbsp
  • Red chilli sauce: 1 tsp
  • Crushed pepper: 3/4 tsp
  • Onions: 2, cubed
  • Capsicum: half, cubed
  • Ginger: 1/2 inch, sliced
  • Garlic: 6 cloves, sliced
  • Beef stock: 1/4 cup
  • Water: 1/4 cup
  • Cornflour: 1 tsp
  • Oil: 2 tbsp
  • Salt and extra pepper as needed
  • Chopped spring (green onions): 1 tbsp (to garnish)

METHOD:

  1. Cut the beef into thin strips. Add them into the pressure cooker and top with 1 tbsp soy sauce and salt.
  2. Pressure cook for 20 mins ie after the first whistle simmer the fire for 20 mins.
  3. Heat a kadai or pan with 1 tbsp oil and add in sliced garlic, ginger, green chilies, and onions. Stir fry for two mins and remove to a plate.
  4. Add in the cubed capsicum and stir fry for a min or two. Add in a fat pinch of salt and pepper and then mix (toss) and remove them to another plate.
  5. Add in 1 tbsp oil and then add in the cooked beef. Keep aside the beef stock which we need to make the gravy.
  6. Once the beef is heated up, stir fry for a minute and then spread the beef to the sides so that the oil will come in the middle. Into the oil in the middle, add in 1 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder, mix it well and allow the chilli to get roasted lightly so that the raw flavor diminishes. Remember to put the flame on low.
  7. Add in 2 tbsp tomato sauce, mix well. Add in 1 tsp soy sauce and red chilli sauce, mix well. Add in 3/4 tsp crushed pepper and mix well.
  8. Add in the stir fried onions and capsicum; sprinkle a fat pinch of salt and pepper and mix well.
  9. Mix cornflour with beef stock and water. Add into the curry, allow it to heat up and simmer for a minute. Garnish with chopped spring onions and switch off the flame.
  10. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.

NOTES

  • If you like more gravy you can add little more water; adjust to your taste.
  • For more tips and notes, pls watch my video
  • Since beef has some water content, I did not add extra water; but if you feel you need to add water, you can add 1/4 cup while pressure cooking.
