Add 2 tbsp of water to this & pressure cook till the beef is done(the cooking time of beef depends on the type of beef used). Keep the cooker closed for 20-25  mins. Open the cooker & if there is any excess water in the beef, cook till the water is dried completely.
2. Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan & add tons of curry leaves. Fry it for few seconds. Add the cooked beef. Give it a good stir. Cook on low flame till the beef becomes black in colour. If the beef appears to dry in between, add a little oil & continue cooking. It will take around  10-15 mins. Dont forget to give a stir in between. That’s all …the  beef fry is ready!
