Eid al-Adha is a time for celebration and delicious food. This year, why not elevate your Eid feast with a unique fusion dish – the Desi Steak? This recipe takes a classic cut of meat and infuses it with the vibrant flavors of desi masalas, creating a show-stopping dish for your Eid gathering. Ingredients: Instructions: Marinate the magic: In a bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, all the dry spices, and salt.
Whisk well to create a smooth marinade. Pat your steak dry with paper towels and then place it in the marinade. Gently coat the steak with the marinade, ensuring it’s well covered.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally, 2-3 hours for maximum flavor infusion. The Searing: Heat ghee or oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, carefully remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.
Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side for a medium-rare doneness. If you prefer your steak more cooked, sear for an additional minute per side. The Rest is Crucial: Once seared, transfer the steak to a plate and tent it loosely with foil.
Let it rest for 5-7 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a tender and flavorful steak. The Grand Finale: Slice the steak against the grain (thinly or thickly, depending on your preference) and plate it.
Garnish with the chopped coriander leaves. Serve immediately with your favorite sides like roast.
