Anglo Indian Beef Or Lamb Stir Fry Food

ANGLO-INDIAN BEEF (OR LAMB) STIR-FRY

Steps:

• If using raw beef, freeze 20 minutes and slice paper-thin. (I would buy beef sliced for bulgogi). Rub the beef with the vinegar, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp turmeric. (With leftover roast, I omitted the salt, but used the turmeric and vinegar. I also sliced it somewhat thicker).
• Bring the whole potatoes to a boil in slightly salted water to cover. Boil for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let sit in the hot water for 15 minutes. The potatoes will be perfectly done. (Or cook potatoes by your preferred method).
• Peel the potatoes and cut into 6 to 8 wedges each. Coat with the remaining 1/4 tsp turmeric and 1/4 tsp salt.
• Heat 3 tbl oil in a large wok and fry the onion and ginger until slightly softened.
• Add the cayenne and the marinated beef (I also added the marinade). Cook over high heat for 5 to 8 minutes or until tender. If not sufficiently tender, add 1/2 cup water and cook over medium-low heat until it's done to your likeness. (With the leftover roast, you really just want to get it warmed through, so watch your cooking time).
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tbl oil in a large skillet and gently fry the potato wedges over low heat (I used medium heat) until golden brown and crisp.
• Serve meat with the potato wedges. To be authentically Anglo-Indian, serve some ketchup on the side.

LAMB-FRY

Steps:

• In a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat, fry onion in oil until edges are nicely browned. Add garlic, ginger, and green chile and stir for 1 minute.
• Mix ground spices with water to form a paste; add to onion mixture. Stir briefly until spices release their fragrance.
• Add lamb and salt and fry over medium heat, stirring frequently util lamb is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste for salt.
• Stir in lemon juice and remove from heat.

BAMYA ( LAMB OR BEEF AND OKRA STEW)
