Beef Biryani is a delicious, aromatic savory dish, that is loaded with spicy beef korma, crispy fried onion, and flavorful saffron, made with rice, meat along with some spices, and herbs. Biryani is also one of the most amazing royal delicacies introduced to India by the Mughals, then it has been much popular and is considered to be  a luxurious treat to enjoy on special occasions, which is all time hot favorite in all age groups of people

People are fond of eating biryani on any special occasion whether it be an Eid function, party, or wedding, Traditional beef biryani is made by layering beef korma and then layered with pre-boiled rice, herbs, saffron milk, and then remaining biryani oil

This biryani is the most popular recipe and is eaten almost all over the world, For my version, I simply prepared beef korma in a spicy mixture of garam masala, garlic, ginger, biryani masala, and yogurt. I like to fry the onions separately, as it allows you to fully caramelize them into a sweet umami-packed layer that contrasts with the spicy savory beef. 

For the rice, a quick par-boil with cardamom, bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon stick, and cumin infuses some flavor, while ensuring the rice is tender enough to steam after the Biryani is assembled. Here I used beef in making biryani, you can prepare biryani with chicken, mutton, or lamb, this is quite easy to make, I’ve shared biryani masala powder have already shared

Note, I couldn't marinate the meat before cooking due to lack of time for a good result you must marinade beef by adding all ingredients for about 2 hours, You can also check out my other versions of biryani on my blog Dum biryani, Bombay Biryani, Sindhi Biryani, chicken biryani

What do you need for a  good biryani?
  1. To make a good biryani, always use the best quality ingredients, the choice of good quality basmati rice, whole spices, spice powder, meat, and ghee or oil, all contribute to the flavor of beef biryani
  2. The most important tip to make delicious biryani is to use long-grain basmati rice as biryani taste depends on rice first and then korma, if your korma is cooked very tasty but rice isn’t enough of good quality you can’t get a taste of biryani so choose always premium quality basmati rice, this kind of rice is firmer and fluff up well in beef biryani without turning mushy, aged rice is also more fragrant
  3. Good quality whole spices and spice powders elevate the flavor of beef biryani, so choose a good quality readymade biryani masala
  4. I have shared a biryani powder recipe, if you do not have a readymade or store-bought masala, you can make it in just a few minutes
  5. Whether choosing beef, chicken, mutton, or lamb by choice but they should be fresh, I always prefer using calf meat instead of beef as they are hard than calf, if you prefer soft, tender, and succulent pieces of meat in your biryani then just use calf meat
  6. Traditionally beef biryani was made using ghee, you can also make it using oil, but ghee adds a unique aroma to the dish...
