PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, turmeric, garam masala, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 2

  Toss the lean beef cubes in the yogurt mixture until well coated and let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

• 3

  Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then place in a small pot with 0.5 cups of water and the saffron threads.

• 4

  Bring the rice to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is yellow and fluffy.

• 5

  While the rice cooks, heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat and sauté the sliced yellow onion until deeply caramelized.

• 6

  Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the marinated beef and any remaining marinade to the pan.

• 7

  Cover the skillet and simmer the beef on low heat for 15-20 minutes until tender and the sauce has thickened.

  Spread the cooked saffron rice over the beef mixture in an even layer, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and mint, and cover for 5 minutes to steam through before serving.
