The beef Ularthiyathu tastes better based on the beef cut, if the beef meat has fat then the beef fry tastes nice, if the meat is lean then there wont be much taste to the dish. The fat in the beef enhances the taste of the dry beef fry, also it reduces the use of less oil to make the beef Ularthiyathu.

Try to use freshly ground garam masala, chilly powder and coriander powder. Also slow cooking the beef will bring a great taste to the dish rather than using the pressure cooker, but if the beef is not a tender cut then it will take a long to cook. Please make sure to cook the beef fry in low heat to get a nice black color.
