Recipe: Beef Baked with Yogurt (using sirloin, garlic and onion)

BEEF BAKED WITH YOGURT

2 lbs boneless sirloin steak
6 tablespoons corn oil
1 onion, chopped
6 cloves,garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
1 cup plain yogurt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove any fat from the meat. Cut the meat into 1-inch cubes.

Heat the oil in a deep, flameproof baking dish, which has a lid, over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add as many meat cubes as will fit into the dish in one layer. Cook, turning the meat cubes, until browned on all sides. Set the browned meat aside on a plate and cook the remaining meat in the same way.

Add the onion and garlic to the dish and cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes or until the onion is browned.

Return the browned meat to the dish, with any juices that have drained onto the plate. Add the ginger, cayenne and paprika. Stir for 1 minute. Add the yogurt and bring to simmering point.

Cover the dish first with foil and then with a lid. Place in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until the meat is tender.

Stir the meat gently before serving.
