Hearty Saudi Pan-Fried Beef Curry

Assemble the ingredients: beef, black pepper, garlic, bay leaf, stock, yogurt, bell pepper.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the beef and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Saudi flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Saudi accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
