How to Make Beef Rogan Josh

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of ghee in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 inch minced ginger, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), 1 teaspoon coriander powder, and 1 teaspoon cumin powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  3. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes. Brown the beef on all sides, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup plain yogurt, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a slow boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the beef is very tender. Stir occasionally.
  7. While the beef simmers, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee in a small pan. Add 2 teaspoons garam masala and stir well.
  8. Pour the garam masala ghee mixture over the beef. Stir to combine.
  9. Serve hot with basmati rice or naan bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional).
