Beef pepper fry recipe

It all started with a simple idea – an idea to instill a little twist to the classic Kerala style beef fry.

Well, who doesn’t love a good stir fried beef curry. I think you just can’t go wrong with it.

I love to cook some good food from scratch on weekends, and everyone just loves this dish. Tender pieces of beef cooked inspices, shallots, plus plenty of ground black pepper – you’ll definitely L.O.V.E. it.

    Past I have tried beef few times and it never got more than average mark from even myself. Being a quintessential Syrian Christian mallu ,it’s difficult for me to live without beef and apun’s wife is just a budding cook.I have tried something similar in a restaurant last week and just bowled over the taste and flavour.

    That is the reason why I decided to try this dish in this weekend.Hence I googled and landed up to your page.And I was really bowled over that mouth watering pic of that beef fry and the simple recipe encouraged me try.
    And I followed religiously what you specified here line by line and end result was awesome(along with the ginger garlic paste I grinded the curry leaves also)..and my wife liked it too..i will try this again with small twists ?

    Thanks a lot for sharing your twist with such simple steps ?
