Dear virtual friends,
I am inviting some guests for dinner inshallah this weekend. I have eliminated typical salan dishes and decided to incorporate a a roast meat dish with sauce and potatoes etc. The sauce will be served seperately etc.
Anyway, i want to know what to use for marinade for the beef? Its not a leg cuz there will be more than 10ppl and i know it won’t be enough so i am going to buy the jumbo meat piece (hope you know what i mean). I normally make a marinade of garlic, soy sauce, garam masala, salt and guerkin vinegar and leave it overnight.
What do you use? How do you cook this chunky piece of meat?
Re: Roast Beef
Hey
We made the following marinade when we served this at a dawat a few years ago:
Ginger/Garlic/Green Chilli Paste - all pounded together
Salt
Pepper
Marinade meat in the above mixture from the morning/night before - we did night before
On the day a few hours before putting in the the oven:
A little yoghurt mixed with:
Saffron
some fried onions
Blend all the above together to smooth paste (use only a very small amount of yoghurt
To this add sweet chilli sauce and honey (equal amounts)
Smear all of this over the joint - then get some cloves and push into the meat (depends on taste)
We also melted some garlic and chive butter and brushed this over quite frequently.
Try it - it's very different to usual dawat food!!

Yes, you can. It just requires a lot of turning. If doing it in a pan, then first you need to put in pan on a low heat with just the initial marinade (before yoghurt stage) so that all excess water dries off (no lid) then take out, leave to cool a bit and add rest of ingredients. Then cook with lid half open for a while and lid closed to finish off)
