BEEF ROAST – I

Ingredients

• 1 kg. beef (boneless)
• 2 to 3 dry red chillies
• 2” pc. cinnamon
• 6 cloves, 3 cardamons
• 8 pepper corns
• 2 medium potatoes
• 3 large onions
• 2 large capsicums
• Oil as required

Marination

1. 2 tbsp. ginger paste
2. 2 tbsp. garlic paste
3. 1 tsp. pepper powder
4. 2 tbsp. vinegar
5. Salt to taste

Method

Cut the beef into thin slices. Wash and drain.  Mix the meat well with the marinade and leave aside for 2 to 3 hours or overnight (in the refrigerator).

Heat 2 tbsp. oil, break the chillies into bits and add to the oil alongwith the cinnamon, cloves, cardamoms and pepper corns.

When the pepper corns start popping, add the meat alongwith the marinade and cook on high heat till the colour of the meat changes.

Then reduce heat and cook till the meat is done and water has evaporated.

As meat is cooking, peel and slice the potatoes into thin slices.  Peel and slice the onions into roundels.  Cut the capsicum into round slices. Fry the potatoes, onions and capsicums, separately and keep aside.

Continue frying the meat for few minutes, stirring occasionally.  Do not add any water.  Lastly add the fried vegetables and mix well or layer the meat and vegetables and serve.
