  • Ninja Foodi

Ingredients
  

For Cooking Beef

  • 2 lbs 1000 g beef boneless cubes
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 3 tbsp chopped ginger and garlic
  • 1 tbsp chopped green chilies

  • Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in the inner pot of Ninja Foodi
  • Add beef cubes, chopped ginger-garlic, green chilies, and salt. Mix well.

Pressure cook instruction:

  • Pressure Cook at High for 1 hour, or until beef becomes tender.
  • release the pressure Naturally
  • Open the lid and mix the beef well.

For Final Flavoring

  • Switch to sauté mode or cook on high heat until all water dries up.
  • Fry the beef until oil starts separating and it turns slightly browned.
  • Add black pepper, garam masala, and lemon juice. Mix well.
  • Continue frying until the masala is fully absorbed and oil separates again.
  • Add whole green chilies (slit or whole depending on spice preference).
  • Cover and simmer for a few minutes until chilies release their aroma.
  • Finish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Notes

No water is needed during cooking as beef releases enough moisture.
For extra heat, increase black pepper or use sliced green chilies.
Slow frying at the end enhances the depth of flavor.
This dish pairs perfectly with naan or steamed rice.
