Roast Beef

Roast Beef

Do you have fond memories of Roast Meat Sandwiches? Those finely cut slices of brown meat stuck between two slices of bread and butter. Used to be my favorite snack during work or play, pop in some greens and consider it a meal. Mama used to pack these for my “Short Recess” in school ๐Ÿ™‚

I would recommend doing this as a side dish, this is something to be eaten as a side dish or weekend sandwiches with a dash of mayo mustard and greens. I also like eating it along with some dal rice/ kichdi ๐Ÿ™‚ but then i feel it requires a tad bit more spice.

The ox tongue is ย virtually done the same way and I would choose to do that if you just want to feast on a dish with some poi ๐Ÿ™‚

Ingredients for Roast Meat Masala:


1 Onion of Garlic
1 1/2 Inch Ginger
8 – 10 Peppercorns
6 – 8 Cloves
2 Inch Piece Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Turmeric Powder
1 Teaspoon Cumin Seeds

Roast Beef Ingredients:

1 Kilo Beef
2 Tablespoon Vinegar or Juice of 1 Sour Lime
Salt as Per Taste
1/2 Onion
3 Whole Kashmiri Chilies
Oil
2 Teaspoons Sugar

Procedure:

Salt the meat and keep aside

Pound or grind the 5 Spice Masala ingredients, at the time of doing this we had no electricity so a mortar and pestle come to good use.

Make a ginger garlic paste and add it to the chunk of beef.

Then add the vinegar, we are using local vinegar

ย 

Once the vinegar is added, apply the spices to the meatย 

The meat is cut like this so the spices can be put into the grooves and to ensure it gets into every part of it.

Once this is done, keep it aside with a weight on it for 45 minutes to an hour.

Pour some oil into the pressure cooker, when hot add some sugar and wait till its caramelized (becomes brown)

Add the chunk of beef to it and enjoy the sizzle ๐Ÿ™‚ Use a fork and keep turning it around till all the sides are

When its nice and brown, add the onions and chillies

Put some water in the vessel you stored the meat under pressure in so we don’t loose any of the masala and pour it in to the pressure cooker.

Once its all in close the pressure cooker and turn on the heat, slower the better.

In around 45 minutes depending on the heat, open up the pressure cooker

You should have the meat look like what it is in the below picture.

You now need to wait for the dish to cool off, so you can start cutting the slices of meat. You don’t need to remove the stock from the pressure cooker we needed the cooker to make another dish ๐Ÿ™‚

Once its cut, you can reheat the meat with the stock, or even wait for most of it to dry up. Please note, incase you added too much water this would not be recommended as you will over cook the meat.

There you have it, the Goan Beef Roast ๐Ÿ™‚ Do you want a slice? Go ahead make your kids those sandwiches their friends will talk about!

Clyde can’t wait to try this. My brother is dreaming of authentic goan beef roast. he will be attempting it in a crockpot. It yields a really intense flavor because of being cooked on low heat for 4 to 6 hours. Keep your wonderful recipes coming. Cathy

Hi Clyde

just a clarification –
Once its all in close the pressure cooker and turn on the heat, slower the better.

do you close te cooker and put on the whistle and take one whistle on hight heat and then lower or do you keep it on slow fire all the time. for 1 kilo beef would 1 cup water do.

which steak do you use – rump, topside, sirlion,

thanks

I tried this recipe just yummy the only difference since we are goans we always keep the yellow meat masala is what we call it always ready so it was easy for me. My granny prepares this masala as home
