PREPARATION TIME: 5 minutes

 

COOKING TIME: 30 minutes

 

SERVINGS: 4

 

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 pounds beef stew meat, roughly cubed
  • 1 teaspoon coriander, ground
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon cumin, ground
  • A pinch of salt and black pepper
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F and grease the air fryer’s pan or basket.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the beef stew meat, ground coriander, garam masala, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss the mixture to ensure the beef is evenly coated with the spices.
  3. Add the Greek yogurt to the spiced beef and mix well. The yogurt will not only add creaminess but also help tenderize the meat.
  4. Place the marinated beef mixture in the air fryer’s pan or basket, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Cook the beef stew at 380 degrees F for approximately 30 minutes. This cooking time ensures that the beef becomes tender and infused with the aromatic spices.
  6. Once cooked, carefully remove the beef stew from the air fryer.
  7. Divide the flavorful beef stew between serving plates, and if desired, garnish with additional yogurt, chopped fresh herbs, or a sprinkle of ground spices.
  8. Serve the dish hot alongside your preferred accompaniments.

 

VARIATIONS:

  • Custom Spice Blend: Create your own spice blend by combining your favorite spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, or nutmeg. Adjust the quantities to your liking and enjoy a personalized flavor experience.
  • Creamy Tomato Variation: Introduce a tomato element by adding a tablespoon of tomato paste to the yogurt marinade. The tomato paste will infuse the dish with a tangy and slightly sweet taste, balancing the spices beautifully.
  • Grilled Skewer Variation: For a different presentation, thread the marinated beef onto skewers and grill them in the air fryer. This variation not only adds a visual appeal but also offers a fun and interactive way to enjoy the dish.

 

TIPS:

  • To enhance the depth of flavor, marinate the beef with the spice mixture and Greek yogurt for a few hours before cooking. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and tenderize it further.
  • Serve the beef stew with a side of steamed rice, naan bread, or roasted vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.
  • Experiment with different levels of spiciness by adjusting the quantities of the ground spices according to your preference.
  • For an extra burst of freshness, garnish the dish with chopped cilantro and a drizzle of lemon juice before serving.
