Ingredients

  • 500 grams boneless beef
  • 2 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 large tomato finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 3 green chilies
  • ΒΌ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 4 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For Pepper Fry

  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 green capsicum sliced
  • 2 green chilies sliced
  • 5 curry leaves
  • 3 dry red chilies
  • 2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Chop the beef pieces into very small bite-size pieces.
  • Grind peppercorns into a coarse powder.
  • Heat oil in a pressure cooker and add 2 medium sizes of finely chopped onion. Saute till light brown.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of finely chopped garlic and fry for 1 minute on medium heat.
  • Now add chopped tomato along with beef, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, green chilies, vinegar, and salt. Stir well and cook for 1 whistle on medium heat. Do not overcook the beef as the pieces are very small and it cooks much faster.
  • Release the steam and open the lid. Try to cook a little more to reduce the water or till the beef curry is dry.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a kadhai and add sliced onion, sliced capsicum, green chilies, dry red chilies, and curry leaves. Saute on high heat and then add freshly ground black pepper.
  • Finally, add the cooked beef curry into the kadhai and stir well till beef is well combined with the onion mixture. Add salt if needed. Cook on high heat for 1 minute and then turn off the heat.
  • Serve hot with roti or steamed rice.

Notes

Note: This dish can be prepared in a regular saucepan too. By doing this the cooking time will be more compared to cooking in a pressure cooker.
