Ingredients:

2 tbsp dried coriander
30g
2 tsp ground cumin
6g
1 tsp turmeric powder
5g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp ginger root
5g
2 tbsp lemon juice
30g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
2 lb beef
910g
2 tbsp tomato puree
30g
1 cup beef broth
250g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Spices:
- In a small bowl, combine the dried coriander, ground cumin, turmeric powder, and black pepper. Set aside.
2. Marinate the Beef:
- In a large bowl, add the minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, lemon juice, and half of the olive oil.
- Toss the beef cubes in the mixture until they are evenly coated. Let the beef marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Cook the Beef:
- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated beef cubes to the pot and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
4. Add Spices:
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the spice mixture to the browned beef. Stir well to coat the beef evenly with the spices.
5. Add Tomato Puree:
- Stir in the tomato puree, making sure it is well mixed with the beef and spices.
6. Simmer:
- Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 1.5-2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors are fully developed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
7. Serve:
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the Madras Beef Curry hot with rice, naan, or your favorite side dish.

Tips:

- Use fresh spices for the best flavor. If you can, grind whole spices just before using them.

- Cut the beef into uniform pieces for even cooking.

- Brown the beef well to enhance the flavor of the curry.

- Let the curry simmer for a longer period to allow the flavors to develop fully.

- Serve the Madras beef curry with basmati rice or naan bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
