Steak Balti

Sharing is caring!

I made this ‘steak balti’ with top quality Wagyu ribeye steak. If you’ve ever wondered if you can taste the difference, believe me… you can! The meat was so tender and flavourful. If you want to make an authentic Balti, you need to cook in stainless steel Balti Bowls and serve the Balti in the same pan. Here I have use a cast iron pan which works perfectly for any curry!

I’ve made this dish with a lot more spices in the past. As I used Wagyu beef this time,  it was important to ensure the meat wasn’t over powdered.

So I kept it simple. This recipe can be made in minutes. It is so nice served with fresh naans. I like to lay the meat on top so that it is just touching the sauce. Then I take turns eating one piece of meat followed my delicious piece of sauce soaked naan.

Any steak will do here but try to get the best quality sirloin, ribeye or rump you can find. These cuts don’t require a long cooking time to become tender.
