  • Preparation: 10 min
  • Cooking: 13 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (163 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Low carb
  • Contains: beef, mustard

Ingredients

  • 45 g Beef, dried
  • 50 g Onions, raw
  • 40 g Tomatoes, raw
  • 4 g Garlic, raw
  • 3 g Ginger, fresh
  • 3 g Chili peppers, green, raw
  • 10 g Mustard oil
  • 0.3 g Turmeric
  • 0.5 g Cayenne pepper
  • 0.3 g Black pepper
  • 5 g Lemon juice
  • 2 g Cilantro, fresh

Method

  1. If the dried meat (sukuti) is very tough, soak it briefly in warm water for 10 minutes to soften slightly, then pat dry and slice or shred into thin strips.
  2. Heat the mustard oil in a pan and fry the meat strips over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes until lightly crisp at the edges.
  3. Add the onion, garlic and ginger, and fry for 3-4 minutes until the onion softens.
  4. Stir in the tomato, turmeric, cayenne, black pepper and green chili, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomato breaks down.
  5. Toss well; the dried meat is already quite salty, so no extra salt is needed.
  6. Scatter with cilantro and serve warm as a spicy snack or side.
