Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and fry until deeply caramelized and dark brown.

  2. 2

    Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, and pilau masala, toasting the spices for 1 minute until highly fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the beef cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides.

  4. 4

    Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes until the beef is tender.

  5. 5

    Stir in the rinsed basmati rice, ensuring it is submerged in the broth.

  6. 6

    Cover the pot tightly, reduce heat to the lowest setting, and cook for 20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and rice is fluffy. Let rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
