Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 onion, chopped
-
6 cloves garlic, minced
-
5 green chile peppers, finely sliced
-
1 teaspoon ginger paste
-
3 whole cardamom seeds
-
2 whole cloves
-
1 ½ (2 inch) cinnamon sticks
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1 teaspoon ground coriander
-
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
1 cup water
-
2 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.
-
Stir in the garlic, green chiles, ginger paste, cardamom seeds, cloves, and cinnamon sticks. Cook and stir until the garlic begins to brown, 3 to 5 more minutes.
-
Mix cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and water into the onion mixture. Simmer until most of the water has evaporated and the mixture has thickened.
-
Stir in beef chuck pieces until coated with spice mixture; simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
