Method

1.Cut cube sized pieces of beef and grind them slightly in a mixer. Make
sure that the cubes are not fully minced but are only torn due to the
grinding action.

2.Add Ginger paste, Garlic paste, salt, red chilli powder, turmeric
powder and vinegar to the beef. Mix it well and keep aside for 30
minutes to an hour. One can refrigerate overnight for better taste.

3.Heat 4 tbsp oil in a pressure cooker and fry the beef for 3 minutes.
Add 2 cups of water and pressure cook on medium heat for 25 minutes.

4.Heat a non-stick cooking vessel/pan with several Tbsp of oil for
frying beef.

5.Unload the contents of the pressure cooker into the frying pan. Fry
the beef for 10 minutes. Add coriander leaves and fry for another 5
minutes or until the beef is blackish brown in color. Add more oil if
need be.

6.Heat the coal pieces to red hot. Cut slices of onion and place them in
a funnel shape in the fried beef. Add some ghee to it. Drop the heated
coal pieces into the onion slices holding ghee. Immediately put the lid
on the pan and let the smoke settle to give a tempting aroma.

7.Pour lime juice, mix well and serve hot with slices of onion and
tomato.
