Nice recipe Al... but a little observation, a butcher once told me that you should never buy meat pre-diced because it contains an assortment of different off cuts of meat, so some will be tougher than others, some may even toughen and dry out after long slow cooking. He said always buy a lump of chuck, shirt, braising steak or whatever it is you fancy using. It always seems to have worked for me

Thanks Al. I’ve been making curries for 30 years after getting Pat Chapman’s “Curry Magic “ but lost interest in the BIL after a couple of years early on due to family/work/life commitments and resorted to either bad take out or quick and easy pre- made pastes and sauces. Came across your channel last Friday, made a 4 Litre batch of #1 curry base Saturday afternoon, your butter chicken Saturday night, your Bombay potatoes Sunday as well as your Beef Madras Masala in the electric pressure cooker ( Russell Hobbs in NZ or instant pot elsewhere). UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! Best Indian curries of my life!! Have got 8 portions of the base in the freezer and can’t wait to try your other recipes. Chicken Jalfrezi next on list. Thanks heaps from Auckland, New Zealand and love your channel. By the way, the local craft beer market went into overdrive 6years ago here and are producing fantastic brews! Down side is that imported beers like Boddingtons and Tetleys are no longer available. Cheers Gerry

I made this today in advance for New Years Eve along with a few other curries. The simplicity of this dish was remarkable. The final taste test was an absolute delight with tender rich beef and a hearty spicy beef sauce. Not over creamy and tasted quite complex too. I think this will go down a treat.

Restaurants cook the meqt in advance. They don't use the masala to do that job. This might help people who are a bit unsure about preparing the dish. Just simmer the beef for a couple of hours with a bit of curry powder or other spices before adding it to the mix or else put it in a slow cooker for as long as you like, which is the ideal way to produce tender tasty meat.
