Mix the diced beef with the yogurt, crushed garlic, grated ginger, garam masala, turmeric, and half the salt.
Marinate the meat in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Rinse the basmati rice and soak it in water for 25 minutes.
Thinly slice the onions and fry them in vegetable oil for 14 minutes, until deep golden.
Parboil the rice with cardamom and the cinnamon stick in salted water for 6 minutes, then drain.
Spread the marinated meat in the pot, then layer the rice, fried onions, mint, and saffron milk over it.
Seal the pot tightly and cook first over medium heat for 10 minutes, then over low heat for 35 minutes.
Rest the biryani for 10 minutes, then serve from bottom to top without breaking the layers.
💡 Tip: Leave the basmati about 70 percent firm; rice cooked fully like Turkish pilaf breaks during the dum stage.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve biryani on a wide tray with optional cucumber raita and lemony onions.
