• 份量: 4 servings
• 准备时间: 15 minutes
• 总时间: 1 hour 45 minutes

配料

1 onion, (diced)

4 tablespoons neutral oil, (divided)

1 teaspoon turmeric, (ground)

1 pound beef, (chuck or round, cut into 1/2 inch pieces)

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 cups water, (adjust as necessary)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper, (ground)

1 cauliflower, (separated into individual florets)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, (adjust to your taste)

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, (ground)

1/4 teaspoon ground saffron, (dissolved in 2 tablespoons water)

步骤

Saute the onions with 2 tablespoons of oil on medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Add the turmeric and saute for 2 minutes.

Add the beef and continue to saute on medium-high heat for another 5 minutes.

Now add the tomato paste and saute for 2 minutes to build more flavor into the dish.

Pour in the water, add salt and pepper, and bring to a gentle simmer. Lower the flame, cover, and cook for 60-75 minutes or until the meat is tender.

While the beef is cooking, select a large frying pan to saute the cauliflower florets.

Saute the caluliflower with 2 tablspoons of oil over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Remove from the pan and set aside.

Once the beef has cooked for 1 hour, add the sauteed cauliflower, lemon juice, cinnamon, and saffron water.

Gently stir, cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. This would be a good time to check the liquid level and adjust as necessary. The stew should be reasonably dense and not watery.

Adjust for seasoning, remove from the heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes.

Serve the stew with Persian steamed basmati rice and a platter of fresh herbs.
