Hot Pickle Beef~

This is one such dish that made me slip in to my childhood days was ‘spicy beefy’ which my mom used to make often. This is more of a pickle type, so it could be preserved for several days. After making this, my mom would store this in an air tight container in the refrigerator, with the sole intention of having it for few weeks. But the fun part is in our house it never lasted even for a day. Today I am going to reveal the recipe of this spicy beefy goodness.

2. Mix all the ingredients except the green chili, pickles and five seasoning spices.
3. Then rub the meat with the mixture and keep aside for ½ an hour.
