  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Diets: High protein, Low carb
  • Contains: beef, dairy, gluten, mustard

Ingredients

  • 160 g Beef sirloin steak, raw
  • 20 g Yogurt, plain
  • 15 g Papaya, raw
  • 20 g Onions, raw
  • 5 g Chickpea flour (besan)
  • 8 g Mustard oil
  • 1 g Cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 g Coriander seeds
  • 0.5 g Cumin

  • 4 g Garlic, raw
  • 3 g Ginger, fresh
  • 1.3 g Salt
  • 5 g Lemon juice

Method

  1. Blend the green papaya to a smooth paste; this natural tenderizer helps break down the meat fibers.
  2. Slice the beef very thinly and mix it with the papaya paste, yogurt, crushed fried onion, roasted chickpea flour, mustard oil, cayenne, coriander, cumin, garam masala, garlic, ginger and salt.
  3. Marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight, turning occasionally.
  4. Thread the thin beef slices onto skewers, keeping them flat, and grill over high heat, or under a very hot broiler, for 2-3 minutes per side until charred at the edges and cooked through.
  5. Squeeze over the lemon juice and serve hot, thinly sliced, with naan and sliced onion.
