  • 1/2 tsp black peppercorns
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger (, roughly chopped)
  • 10 g arlic cloves ((yes, 10!))
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp fenugreek seeds ((Note 3))
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 7 tbsp white vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • 50 g / 3 tbsp ghee or unsalted butter ((Note 4))
  • 1 onion (, finely chopped (brown, yellow, white))
  • 2 tsp ginger (, finely grated)
  • 4 g arlic cloves (, finely minced)
  • 1 1/2 tsp black mustard seeds ((Note 5))
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

Steps

  1. Salt beef: Toss beef in salt.

  2. Check spiciness of kashmiri chilli powder and adjust if desired. See Spiciness Note below.

  3. Curry Paste: Place Curry Paste ingredients in a Nutribullet or small food processor with 1 cup of the water. Blitz until smooth. Pour over beef. Pour remaining 1 cup water into Nutribullet, shake (to clean out remaining curry paste), then pour/scrape over beef.

  4. Marinate beef: Mix beef in curry paste, cover, then marinate 2 hours. (Note: marinade is fairly thin - the water cooks down during slow cooking.)

  5. Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F (170°C fan).

  6. Curry sauce: Melt ghee over medium high. Cook onion, ginger and garlic until they become translucent - about 3 minutes.

  7. Mustard seeds: Add black mustard seeds then cook until onion is tinged with gold. Stir in tomato paste, cook 1 minute.

  8. Puree sauce: Add beef stock, stir. Transfer into a jug then use a stick blender to puree until smooth. Pour back into the pot.

  9. Add beef: Add beef and curry leaves, stir then bring to boil.

  10. Slow cook: Cover with a lid, then place in the oven for 2 hours or until beef is fall apart tender and the sauce has darkened in colour and thickened. (See Note 7 if sauce hasn't reduced enough).

  11. Serve: Garnish with coriander, then serve over basmati rice with a side of naan!
