Daddy’s Fried Beef

This is something that I remember my Dad make and hence the dish is named Daddy’s Fried Beef. It is pretty simple to make – all you need it a good cut of beef. The fried beef turns out flavorsome as the beef is cooked in its own juices.

Serves: A Family of Four

Prep. Time: 30 Mins + Marination

Cooking Time: 25 to 30 Mins

Ingredients:

• Beef (undercut) – 500 gms
• Pepper (freshly ground, slightly coarse) – 1 tbsp. or more
• Ginger Paste – ¼ inch (grind to a paste)
• Garlic Paste – 8 cloves (grind to a paste)
• Bancal Sauce – 3 tbsp.
  • OR Worcestershire Sauce – 2 tbsp.
• Lime – 1 medium
• Butter – 1 tbsp. (optional)
• Oil – 2 tbsp.
• Salt – 1 tsp.

Step 1:     Slice / cut the meat. Wash and drain well. Tenderise the meat using a meat mallet. Marinate with salt, lime juice, ginger-garlic paste, Bancal sauce (or Wooster) and pepper powder for at least an hour.

Step 2:     When the meat has marinated, heat the oil in a pan. Place the meat slices on the pan and sear on both sides on high heat.

Step 3:     Add ¼ cup hot water and cook covered on low heat for 15 minutes till the meat is done (cooking time depends on the cut of meat).

Step 4:     Once the meat is cooked, keep the lid open and let all extra juices dry out.

Step 5:     Add the butter (optional) and turn the meat over to coat with the butter. Switch off the heat. Daddy’s Fried Beef is ready to serve 🙂
