Instructions
1
Prep
Cut beef chuck into 1.5-inch cubes and pat dry. Thinly slice onion, mince garlic, and grate ginger.
2
Sear
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Brown beef cubes in a single layer for 5 minutes, turning until deeply browned on all sides.
3
Sauté
Add sliced onion to the pot over medium heat and cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden.
4
Bloom
Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, cinnamon stick and cardamom pods. Cook over medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant.
5
Simmer
Add crushed tomato and beef stock, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook over medium-low heat for 60 minutes until beef is fork-tender and sauce thickens.
6
Finish
Uncover the pot, season with salt, and simmer uncovered over medium-low heat for 5 minutes until sauce becomes thick and glossy.
