Clean and wash the cubed beef thoroughly using vinegar and salt ..

Saute until the onion become light golden brown .

Then add all powders one by one and saute in low flame .

Keep aside and allow to cool..

Then make a fine paste of this masala mix..

Heat a heavy bottomed cooker and pour the masala paste along with beef pieces ..

Mix well and saute for 5 minutes in medium flame .

Then close the cooker and let the whistle come .

Switch off the fire and open after 15 minutes ..

The cooking time varies depending up on the beef ..

I got very tender beef so it was well cooked by 1 whistle itself .

So plz cook according to ur stuff..Check the salt and spice.

Adjust according to ur taste .

In between ,heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan ,add coconut slices ,fry till golden light brown shade

Then add finely chopped onion ,ginger and garlic (finely chopped ) ,greeen chillies (slits) ,curry leaves and very less amount of salt.

Saute well till brown colour and finally add cooked beef to this onion mix .

Mix well and roast till the beef is well coated with the masala ..By this time u can see oil is coming out from the masala.

Add plenty of curry leaves and finally add 1 tsp of pepper powder ..

So the delicious Beef varattiyathu is ready …

Serve with rice,appam,dosa or dish of ur choice
