Gosht Madras (Madras Beef Curry)

Sprinkle the beef with the lemon juice and salt, coating it evenly.

Heat the ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and chiles. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.

Add the coriander, cumin, turmeric, ginger, and black pepper. Mix well and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 more minutes.

Add the beef to the skillet. Mix well so the meat is coated in the spice mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the tomato paste and beef stock to the skillet. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the skillet and let cook for 30-40 minutes or until the beef is tender.

Stir in the garam masala and cook uncovered for 10 additional minutes or until the liquid is the desired consistency (it should be thick).

Serve immediately with rice, if desired.
