Step#1: Making Beef Gravy (Yakhni/Stock)
- Add all ingredients in a big pot and add 6-7 glasses of water so the beef can cook well and 1 glass of stock remains at the end.
- Cover the lid and cook on high flame for about 10 minutes, then slow the flame on medium and let it cook till beef is tender and water is reduced to one glass.
- Meanwhile, fry the thinly sliced onions to light brown and take out in a paper towel or absorbent paper.
- When the beef is tender with 1 glass of stock it means your basic beef biryani gravy (stock/yakhni) is ready.
Step#2: For Yogurt Mixture
- Mix all ingredients in beaten yogurt and set aside.
Step#3: Mix all Biryani Ingredients
- Mix all Biryani Ingredients (tomatoes, plums and green masala etc) together in a big bowl and set aside.
Step#4: Method For Cooking Biryani (Layering)
- When your Special Beef gravy/stock is reduced to 1 cup then add mixed biryani ingredients (tomatoes, plums & green masala etc) and cook on high flame for about 3 to 4 minutes (just to make the tomatoes soften a little, but if you don't want, skip this step.)
- Then add yogurt mixture on top and then add boiled Sela rice (3/4th part cooked), and then fried onions add then 1/4 cup ghee on top and cover the lid tightly to simmer (dum) for about 15 minutes. (I always place a skillet/tawa beneath the rice pot. It helps to cook the rice with all ingredients and masala evenly and prevents the rice sticking at the bottom.

(#Note: My family doesn't like sliced tomatoes in biryani so I cooked them with the biryani gravy for 3 to 5 minutes to make them soft, but if you like some chunky tomatoes and mint leaves in your bite, you don't need to cook them with beef stock/gravy. You can add tomatoes and other green ingredients at the layering stage directly.)
