Ingredients for Indian Beef Curry Serves 4
Beef brisket 1.5 kg Curry powder 1 packet (about 1 tablespoon) Curry leaves a few Lemongrass 4 stalks Horn chili 1 piece Onion 2 bulbs Garlic 4 cloves Shallots 12 bulbs Annatto oil 2 tablespoons Cooking oil 2 tablespoons Common seasoning a little (salt/ sugar/ seasoning powder)
How to choose fresh and delicious beef
- For this dish, you should choose beef brisket, as the firm brisket meat with tendons will make the curry more flavorful.
- Good beef has a bright red color, fine meat fibers, light yellow fat, and when pressed feels firm and elastic, with a distinct beef smell.
- If the meat is dark red, with thick fibers and dark yellow fat, it is old beef, which will be very tough. If the meat is dark red, with white fat and has a slightly fishy smell, it is buffalo meat.
- In addition, do not buy if you see the beef is dull in color, soft and watery, or has a rotten smell.

Prepare the Ingredients
When buying beef brisket, rinse it with diluted salt water, then wash it again with clean water, and cut it into pieces about the thickness of a finger.

- Method 1: After washing the beef, marinate it with a little crushed ginger for 3 – 5 minutes, then rinse with clean water and cut it into bite-sized pieces for cooking.
- Method 2: You can soak the beef in white wine for about 15 minutes to better eliminate the odor.
- Method 3: Rinse the meat briefly with cold water, then blanch it briefly in hot water (not boiling), remove it and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
