How to Make Beef Pepper Fry
Ingredients
- Beef – 500g
- Crushed black pepper – 1 tablespoon
- Onion – 100g
- Green chili – 6 to 8
- Garlic cloves – 6 to 8
- Ginger – A small piece (About the size of a large garlic clove)
- Lime – ½
- Curry leaves – Few
- Turmeric powder – ½ teaspoon
- Salt – As you need (KETO people use Himalayan pink salt)
- Cooking oil – As you need (KETO people use Extra virgin coconut oil)
Instructions
1. Rinse the beef and cut it into small pieces as shown in the picture below. Add turmeric powder and salt. Mix well and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Slice the onions and green chilies as shown in the picture below.
3. Get ready with crushed black pepper, curry leaves, lime, ginger, and garlic.
4. Cook the marinated beef covered under the high flame until all the water evaporates. In a halfway through take off the lid and give a stir to avoid burning. For me, it takes about 10 minutes.
5. Now add a little cooking oil and fry the beef. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
6. Once the beef pieces start turning to brown color, add the ginger and garlic paste. Stir and fry them under medium flame for 2 or 3 minutes.
7. Now, add the onion and green chilies. Stir and fry them under medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes.
8. Finally, switch off the flame and add crushed black pepper and half of the lime juice. Mix well and adjust salt if needed.

Notes
1. You don’t need to add water when you cook the marinated beef.
2. If you don’t like spiciness reduce the number of green chilies and the amount of black pepper according to your taste.
3. I recommend buying the beef with a little fat. Extra-lean beef won’t give you a good taste.
