Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3.5 lb beef chuck roast preferably boneless
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil for searing
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger grated
  • 1 tbsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper adjust to taste
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro chopped for garnish
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Heat oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned.
  • Remove the roast from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add butter and melt. Add onions, garlic, and ginger; sauté until fragrant.
  • Add garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to combine spices.
  • Return the roast to the pot. Add beef broth and heavy cream, ensuring the roast is partially submerged.
  • Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for approximately 4 hours, until the meat is tender.
  • Remove from oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes

For a spicier dish, you may increase the amount of cayenne pepper. Serve with basmati rice or naan for a complete meal.
