what cut steak did you use here?
Tendercuts like fillet work for this recipe.
I am making this recipe now with your baked baby potatoes, InshaAllah will let you know how it turns out, its looking good so far.
My husband luv steaks.I always thought that it would be very difficult to make but this recipe is really simple ,i will try this weekend ISHALLAH. Thx Fauzia
I tried this recipie last night. My husband loved it. Jazakallah fauzia!
What kind of cream can i use, heavy cream or half and half or sour?
Use fresh/cooking cream, otherwise you can dilute heavy cream with some milk and use that instead.
Salaams. Can I use a slow cooker or the oven to cook the steaks? Or does it have to be a pressure cooker? If so, how long should it be cooked for? Thanks 🙂
W/Salaam, you can use a slow cooker or oven, although pressure cooker retains moisture in the meat giving a more succulent steak.
Asalam aleykum fauzia, am a huge fan of steaks n so is ma hubby, bt used 2make it differently n I would like to try ur way….so can i use rump steak for this recipe and do I have to boil it like da other fillets..thnx
W/Salaam, rump steak is a bit tougher than fillet. So yes you would need to boil it.
Thnx 4ur reply fauzia bt wen rump steak is cut into thinly sliced fillets I think bcmes soft just by grillin.
Wonderful, then you can omit the boiling if they are thinly cut. 🙂

Assalamu aleykum, Shukran for all your goodwork and all the help, you turned someone of us to be thinkers of what im going to cook 2nite, instead of what im going to order tonite or which restaurant to go dine!
i have one question could you please tell me which butter you talk about in most of the meals, is it the baking butter or the “Ghee butter” especially in meats and chicken? thankyou dear…

Hi and thanks!! Normally this serves 4-5 people. So depending on what else you make on the side, I think 5 kg is safe. Do it in batches to make sure the results are consistent. 🙂

Asalaamualeikum Fauzia.
I stumbled upon your website and found your recipies to be very easy and helpful. I tried this nyama recipe last week and it was absolutely fantastic. I must admit I was a bit skeptical about the masalas when boiling, and once i boiled and tasted it didnt taste very good but when I made the sauce and poured it over the steak and served with fried, it was so yummy. Thank you sooo much. We’re fasting today, so once again I’m browsing to see something special for iftari and for Idd tomorrow. Shukhran.
Salaam, I just wanted to ask
Salaam, I just wanted to ask u exactly what kind of meat is this. We tend to eat lamb here and not beef, so I wanted to ask u what shud i ask the butcher for. Also, is it white or brown vinegar u used in this recipe. Thanks.
W/Salaam, for lamb any good
W/Salaam, for lamb any good clean boneless cut will be good because lamb tends to be more tender than beef. Any vinegar will work here. 🙂
Salaams sister I just wanted
Salaams sister I just wanted to say that I love cooking this dish for my family, it is an amazing dish and we all love it. well done and keep up the good work. 🙂
I wanted to ask do I need to
I wanted to ask do I need to cut a standard beef steak further into thin slices? N if yes then in how many approximately. …n also I dont have a pressure cooker….can I cook it in a simple pot n if yes then procedure will b same or a lil bit different?
Am not sure I understand what
Am not sure I understand what you mean by how many approximately. Is your steak presliced? It just needs to be in slices of about half inch thickness. And yes you can cook in an open pot. Keep the heat on medium to low.

Salaam Fauzia,
Hope you’re well. I’ve made this before and I have to say it was a hit with my husband who is a big fan of steak, I’d tried other recipes and didn’t turn out as good. But for the life of me I don’t know how much water I added to the sauce!!! For this recipe, how much water would you need to add to the sauce? I think when I made it I ended up making less sauce, probably bc of the amount of water I’d added.
Hoping you can reply very soon as planning of making it for tomorrow’s iftaar Insha’Allah!
Take care

W/Salaam, thanks for such a
W/Salaam, thanks for such a lovely feedback. Start off with 1 cup of water for the sauce, and after cooking if you find that it is too thick add a little more very gradually while stirring when it is still on the stove to loosen it up.
Jazakillahu khaira. I made it
Jazakillahu khaira. I made it again and husband liked it just as much! Alhamdulillah.
I have another question though, I’m thinking of making mixed steak this time for tomorrow’s iftaar Insha’Allah, chicken and lamb. I used this recipe for lamb and it turned out really nice. I know you have a different recipe for chicken steak but it’s quite different to this, and even the sauce in both the recipes are quite different. How would you suggest I go about making mixed steak? Which recipe to use for the chicken steak? Shall I use this one and make it together with the lamb or use the Chicken steak recipe? Also then which sauce? Such a big dilemma for me! Can’t decide as I don’t know how it’ll taste!!!!
Hope you can help me somehow and advice me Insha’Allah.
Take care Fauzia!
Hope Ramadhan is going well for you.
Thank you! I think the
Thank you! I think the chicken steak works best with the other recipe, you can then serve it with the sauce given for the other one. Hope it turns out well for you! 🙂

Hi, id like to make this, my pressure cooker boils meat for 45 mins atleast and your instructions say 15 mins.

Fillet meat does not require 45 minutes, it gets tender very quickly.
