Anglo Indian Beef Or Lamb Stir Fry Recipes

Steps:

• Okra must be cooked so that its slimy texture is eliminated.
• The Greeks have the best technique for achieving this.
• Trim the conical tops with a sharp knife, then soak the okra in red wine-viegar (Khall) for 30 minutes, allowing 1/2 cup vinegar per pound.
• Drain, rinse and dry the okra and proceed with the recipe.
• This dish is popular throughout the Middle East and can be prepared with lamb or beef.
• Serve with rice.
• Preheat an oven to 325 F (165 C).
• In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 4 tablespoons of the butter or oil.
• Working in batches, add the meat and fry, turning, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon transfer to a baking dish or stew pot.
• Add the onions to the fat remaining in the frying pan and saute over medium heat until tender and translucent, 8-10 minutes.
• Add the garlic, cumin, coriander, tomatoes, tomato paste, the 1 cup stock and mint (if using).
• Stir well.
• Pour over the meat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cover and bake until all the liquid is absorbed, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Taste and adjust the seasonings.
• Meanwhile, prepare the okra as directed in the note above.
• In a saute pan over medium heat, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons butter or oil Add the okra and saute for 3 mins, stirring gently.
• Remove the stew from the oven and arrange the okra on top in a spoke pattern.
• Sprinkle the lemon juice evenly over the surface.
• Re-cover the dish and return it to the oven.
• Bake for 35 minutes longer.
• Add stock or water if the mixture seems too dry.
• Serve the"BAMIA" stew piping hot.

Steps:

• If using raw beef, freeze 20 minutes and slice paper-thin. (I would buy beef sliced for bulgogi). Rub the beef with the vinegar, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp turmeric. (With leftover roast, I omitted the salt, but used the turmeric and vinegar. I also sliced it somewhat thicker).
• Bring the whole potatoes to a boil in slightly salted water to cover. Boil for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let sit in the hot water for 15 minutes. The potatoes will be perfectly done. (Or cook potatoes by your preferred method).
• Peel the potatoes and cut into 6 to 8 wedges each. Coat with the remaining 1/4 tsp turmeric and 1/4 tsp salt.
• Heat 3 tbl oil in a large wok and fry the onion and ginger until slightly softened.
• Add the cayenne and the marinated beef (I also added the marinade). Cook over high heat for 5 to 8 minutes or until tender. If not sufficiently tender, add 1/2 cup water and cook over medium-low heat until it's done to your likeness. (With the leftover roast, you really just want to get it warmed through, so watch your cooking time).
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tbl oil in a large skillet and gently fry the potato wedges over low heat (I used medium heat) until golden brown and crisp.
• Serve meat with the potato wedges. To be authentically Anglo-Indian, serve some ketchup on the side.
