Ingredients:
- 1kg beef tenderloin / pork (fatless and boneless chunks)
- 4 onions, large, cut in thick rings
- 2 potatoes, large, cut in thick rings
- 4 green chillies
- 2 tbsp black pepper powder
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
- 1 tsp mustard paste/sauce
- 2 tbsp vinegar/lemon juice
- 1⁄2 cup cilantro (coriander leaves)
- 1½ tsp salt

- 1 cup water
Whole spices
- 4 cloves
- 3 cinnamon sticks, small
- 4 dried red chilies
- 7 black pepper corns
- 2 bay leaves

Method:
Marinate chunks of beef with black pepper powder, mustard paste, turmeric powder, ginger and garlic paste, green chillies, salt and vinegar (or lemon juice). Keep aside for 2 to 3 hours.
Take a pan on high flame. Add 2 tbsp oil and whole spices. When the red chillies are slightly burnt, add the marinated beef chunks and keep stirring on high flame till the color of meat changes from pink to brown. Add 1 cup water and turn the flame to a very low flame. Cover the pan and let the meat cook for 30 minutes. Remove the cooked beef and its stock from the pan and keep aside. Cut them into thin slices, once slightly cool.
In the same pan, add 2 tbsp oil and fry the potatoes rings. Once done, remove and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Again in the same oil, fry the onion rings till transparent. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, add the fried potato rings and mix and also add the thin slices of beef and mix well.
Finally, add some chopped cilantro and serve.
