I'll have a go but will probably forget something.
Start with about 1 cs of sunflower oil, heat and add, sequentially:
3 blitzed dried Kashmiri chillies, 1 tsp of garlic paste, 1 tsp mix powder, 1 tsp MDH Kashmiri chilli powder, 2 tsp of diluted tomato puree, a pinch of dried methi and a squirt of lemon dressing. Just a pinch of salt. Cook for a couple of mins and then add the pre-cooked beef and a good cs of the spiced oil/meat stock.

Cook for a further couple of mins and add some base gravy (say 150-200 ml). Stir in 1 green and 1 red chilli, 1-2 heaped tsp(s) of blended mango pickle, and about 1 tsp of the oil it comes with. I use Shezan in preference to the Ahmed brand mango pickle used by some TAs/restaurants. Also add 2 tsp sugar, 1 tsp Coleman's mustard (jar) and 30 g of plain yoghurt. Leave it cooking for a few minutes.

Reduce/scrape down and then add some more base, chopped coriander and another 30 g of yoghurt.

Reduce further until fairly dry. When the dish is nearly ready check for seasoning and happy with the flavours/sweetness etc. Spoon off some of the oil if you wish. This should result in a rich, medium to hot dish, which I found quite delicately flavoured compared to the Acharis I've had from TAs, where the pickle is added much later on in the cooking. You can of course add some more later if you wish, depending on what you prefer.
Top notch curry though. I'd be happy to pay a tenner for this at a restaurant including the rice. Served here with plain basmati rice garnished with toasted black cumin, and a cooling cucumber side salad.

Not mince. There are about 5 or 6 decent chunks of beef in there somewhere. Pre-cooked for about 1 hr 45 mins. Photo below (only one I took) is just after the initial G/G baghar.
