Black Pepper Beef Recipe

Best Black Pepper Beef Recipe that I have ever made. It has freshly crushed Black pepper that adds heat to the dish without chillies. The Kashmiri whole chillies in this recipe lend colour and also a little spice to the recipe.

Traditionally this is slow-cooked in a vessel or pot to bring out its best flavours. But being in a hurry most of the time I prefer to make this beef recipe in a pressure cooker. Nonetheless, you will not lose out on the flavours or texture of the dish. I also love the way the beef turns juicy and flavourful with only minimum ingredients.

The best way to add warmth to this Beef recipe is to add freshly crushed Black pepper. The beef cooks in its own juices and blends beautifully with the onions and black pepper giving the gravy a warm sweetish taste. A dash of vinegar also adds the much-needed tang to the recipe.

Coarsely crushed black pepper and whole red Kashmiri Chillies are the only spice components in this beef recipe. You will love this dish for its simplicity, and flavours, the one that you would like to order at a restaurant.

You can best relish this Black Peper Beef with some naan, parathas, or Rotis. Overall a warm recipe that will lift up your spirits especially during this monsoon season.

Black Pepper Beef Ingredients

• BEEF. Tenderloin (undercut meat) or any other cut of meat that is tender works fine for this recipe. Wash and cut the beef into small cubes and set aside.

• ONIONS. The purpose of adding onions to this recipe is to have a little gravy in the dish keeping the meat juicy. Cut 4 to 5 medium onions into quarters (it saves time! ) and saute until translucent. The onions beautifully melt in the gravy giving the meat a lovely coating.

• WHOLE RED CHILLIES. Use any red chillies available with you and simply break them into small pieces and add. I like to use Kashmiri chillies that are not too hot. These chillies give the gravy a mild red colour too which is so appetizing.

• GINGER & GARLIC. These are essentials in most Indian recipes, especially meat curries. Finely mince and chop a few cloves of garlic and an inch or two of ginger and use it in the recipe for a deep flavour.

• BLACK PEPPER. This is the star of this Beef Recipe. It is best to use freshly crushed black pepper as per your taste. A small bit of crushed black pepper in every morsel is the essence of this beef recipe.

• VINEGAR. A little vinegar adds the much need tang to the recipe so don’t skip this.

How to make Black Pepper Beef

You can make this Black Pepper Beef recipe in an instant pot or a slow cooker or even in a thick bottom vessel. I prefer to make mine in a pressure cooker to save time. Minimum spices add deep flavours to this simple Black Pepper Beef recipe that you just cannot resist.

• INGREDIENTS
  • Beef (cut into cubes or curry pieces) – 1 kg
  • Whole spices (bay leaves -02, cloves-05, cinnamon 1-inch, cardamom 02)
  • Onions – 4 to 5 medium quartered
  • Whole Red chillies 5 to 6 (broken)
  • Ginger & garlic chopped
  • Vinegar – 3 tbsp
  • Black pepper (freshly crushed) – 1 tbsp
  • Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
  • Vegetable Oil – 3 tbsp
  • Salt to taste

• Heat 2 to 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a pressure cooker and add some whole spices like bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom.

• At the same time add pieces of red whole chillies, finely chopped ginger, and garlic cloves. Saute this for at least 30 seconds and then add the onions that are cut into quarters. Continue to saute until the onions turn translucent.

• Then add the beef pieces that are washed and drained. Also, add turmeric powder and salt to taste. Fry the beef along with the onions and spices for 3 to 4 minutes to sear up the meat. Now add 3 tbsp vinegar and freshly crushed black pepper and mix well. There is no need to add any water as the beef will release water during cooking.

• Now cover the pressure cooker and allow the beef to cook. After one or two whistles, reduce the flame and cook on a low flame for approx 25 to 30 minutes. The cooking time will depend on the heat as well as the pressure cooker, so adjust accordingly.

• After the cooker has cooled down, open the lid. You will find that the meat and onions have released a lot of moisture. It is best to transfer this into an open vessel or Kadai and dry up the liquids on a very high flame.

• When the black pepper beef is almost dry, then switch off the flame.
