Beef Bhuna

Beef Bhuna is a must item in Bangladeshi cuisine. Beef Bhuna goes well with roti or paratha. I cook beef here in kala bhuna style for that beef needs to marinate overnight which will take less time to cook.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg curry cut beef

• 3 tablespoon yogurt

• 1 cup sliced onion

• 2 teaspoon chilli powder

• ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder

• 1 teaspoon coriander powder

• ½ teaspoon fried cumin powder(optional)

• 1 and ½ tablespoon onion paste

• 1 tablespoon ginger paste

• 2 teaspoon garlic paste

• 1 bay leaf

• 3 cardamom

• 1’’ cinnamon stick

• 4 tablespoon oil

• Salt to taste

Also needs thick base non stick sauce pan with lid.

How to make:

1. Marinate beef with yogurt, ginger and garlic and keep it in refrigerator overnight.

2. Heat the pan with oil in medium high and fry the onion till it becomes golden. Take off the fried onion and keep aside.

3. Add the beef in same pan with salt and rest of spices except cumin and stir it.

4. Mix all spices with beef well and cook it under closed lid till the beef becomes dry.

5. Stir well and add ½ cup of water. Cook again under closed lid.

6. Repeat this process (stir well and add ½ cup of water and cook again under closed lid) till meat becomes tender. I like to cook till flesh comes off from bone.

7. Beef bhuna will take to cook about 1.45-2 hrs.

8. Add fried onion and cumin and stir it. Turn off the heat.

9. Beef Bhuna is ready to serve with roti, paratha or naan.
