Keep the cooker closed for 20 mins. Open the cooker & if there is any excess water in the beef, cook till the water is dried completely.
  • Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan & add 3 springs of curry leaves.Fry it for few seconds.Add some fennel seeds(Perumjeerakam) and then add the cooked beef.Give it a good stir.Cook on low flame till the beef becomes black in color.If the beef appears to dry in between,add little oil & continue cooking.It will take around 10-15 min.

Notes

  • The main taste maker for the beef dry fry is the curry leaves and the coconut oil.So use it as needed.
  • Adjust the chilly according to your tolerance level.
  • The cooking time of the beef depends on the type of beef you have used.For me it just took a whistle on just above medium heat.It's always better to cook the beef just below fully cooked.
  • I used a nonstick pan to dry fry so that I can save on oil.
