Pakistani-Style Spiced Beef Stew

This rich, aromatic stew, called nihari, traditionally is made with a special seasoning blend known as nihari masala, a mixture that might contain more than a dozen spices. To create similar complexity with far fewer ingredients, we rely on curry powder (for color and savory notes) and garam masala (for its spicy warmth). Lemon juice stirred in at the end adds brightness that balances the stew's richness. Serve with basmati rice or warmed flatbread and, if you desire a little spice, garnish with sliced jalapeño or serrano chilies.

Ingredients
  • 4

    tablespoons (½ stick) salted butter

  • 2

    medium yellow onions, halved and sliced ½ inch thick

Directions
  1. 01
    On a 6-quart Instant Pot, select Normal/Medium Sauté. Add the butter and melt, then cook, stirring, until golden brown and has a nutty aroma, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onions, garlic, ginger, cinnamon and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the onions are soft and golden brown at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the paprika, fennel seeds, coriander, curry powder, garam masala, 2 teaspoons salt and 1½ teaspoons pepper, then cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 1 cup water and scrape up any browned bits. Add the beef and stir combine.
