Ingredients
- 500g beef (cubed)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup beef stock
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- For Kashmiri Paratha: 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 2: Cook the Beef
Add the cubed beef to the pot and cook until browned on all sides. Stir in the cumin, coriander, chili powder, turmeric, and soy sauce. Cook for 5 minutes to allow the spices to release their aroma.
Step 3: Simmer the Beef
Add tomato paste, beef stock, and salt. Stir well, then cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the sauce thickens. Once cooked, stir in the garam masala and yogurt. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Step 4: Prepare the Kashmiri Paratha
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and water to form a dough. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until soft and smooth. Divide the dough into small balls, then roll them out into flat circles. Heat a tawa or flat pan, cook each paratha until lightly browned on both sides, brushing with ghee. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Step 5: Serve
Serve the tender Baltimore Beef with the hot, crispy Kashmiri parathas. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Enjoy your meal!
