Preparation Steps

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Remove browned beef and set aside.
  • Add the sliced onions to the pot and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add all the spices for the spice blend to the pot and stir for 30 seconds until aromatic.
  • Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the plain yogurt until smooth. Stir the yogurt into the curry during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Do not boil after adding yogurt.
  • Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

Serve hot with rice, naan bread, or roti.
