Ok. I finally broke down and used my stove. It was an epic battle of heat, sweat and lots of water chugging, but after a week of tough workouts, I was really craving something hearty. I turned the fans on full blast and just got down to it. An hour and a half later, the smell of amazingness filled my apartment.
Why I went from shunning the stove to keeping it on for over an hour, I cannot say. Insanity due to heat stroke, perhaps? Whatever it was, it was worth it because this Paleo Beef Buffad is bomb!
Beef Buffad is an Indian style dish with a thick sauce that is bit reminiscent of a stew. I admit that this rich dish may be best to make on a cold, rainy day, but I got a craving and just couldn't wait for winter to come around.
The beef is oh-so-tender. The sauce is buttery and delicious (even though there is no butter in sight). Add in all the best spices known to mankind and you've got one bombtastic meal.
My favorite addition is turmeric, which is said to have anti-inflammatory effects. Perfect for a body in marathon training mode.
If you like Indian flavors, you'll love this. It's filled with flavor and has a little spicy kick. Despite its long cook time, this dish is still easy to make. You basically toss everything into a pan and just let it simmer until the meat tenderizes.
I'd recommend a baked sweet potato on the side, or if you're not Paleo, add this Beef Buffad to a bed of jasmine rice.
Badda bing, badda boom. Beef!
