Beef Pepper Fry

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 in spices, shallots, plus plenty of ground black pepper – you’ll definitely L.O.V.E. it.

Ingredients

  • ½ kg beef, cut into small pieces
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 5-6 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 2 cm piece fresh ginger, sliced
  • 4-5 shallots, cut in halves
  • 2-3 green chilies, sliced

Instructions

  1. Place beef pieces, garlic, ginger, green chilies, shallots, one sprig of curry leaves, ground turmeric, ground coriander, red chili powder, and garam masala in a pressure cooker. Place it over a high flame, and leave it to cook. (Ideally, 6-7 whistles will be enough).
  2. Once the steam has escaped, open the cooker, and place it over a high flame until all the water dries out.
  3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a pan, splutter mustard seeds, and then fry sliced onions until golden brown. Add in the cooked beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add crushed black peppercorns and rest of curry leaves. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 15 minutes. Remove from flame when beef pepper fry gets a dark brown color.

    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 ?

      Thank you so much Anish for your kind words. Glad to know you and your wife liked it. And about the coconut slices – it was just a personal preference. 🙂
