Notes
Beef: Any cut of beef can be used for this recipe. Its simmered for so long even tough cuts will become soft. However, fattier cuts of beef will create a richer more satisfying dish.
In place of beef you can use lamb, goat/mutton, or veal.
Yogurt: Any plain full fat yogurt such as Greek yogurt or regular plain yogurt can be used. Even sour cream can be used if necessary.
Seasoning: Be sure to adjust the amount of salt to fit your tastes. Season at each major step and taste as you go to make sure there is enough salt.
Storage and leftovers:
Store the leftover sealed in the fridge for up to 1 week. This dish actually taste better the next day!
Reheating:
Reheat on the stove top or in the microwave until cooked through.
