Topic: Sri Lankan Beef Smore

[Robbo141]

Being on holiday this week gives a little more time to cook longer dishes, so yesterday I dug out an old Madhur Jaffrey book, Curry Easy, and tried something new.

2 1/2 lb piece of beef roast, tied up.   A technique I had to learn yet.  YouTube is great.


Pat the meat dry with kitchen paper, sprinkle with salt and loads of black pepper.

Dry roast the following seeds then grind to powder.
4 tsp coriander
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp fennel
1/4 tsp fenugreek

Pre-heat oven to 320 F (160 C)

Put proof casserole dish (I used our Le Creuset Dutch oven), on the hob, add 4 TBSP oil, and when hot, brown the meat on all sides.   Remove to a plate.

Add:
1 cinnamon stick
1 large onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, sliced

That actually looks really good, thanks for the recipe, method and photo. A kind of Asian chateaubriand
