Add the coriander, cumin, turmeric, ginger and pepper, stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. 4. Add the beef and lemon juice, stir well to coat the meat with the spices. Cook for 5-10 minutes. 5. Stir in the tomato paste and beef stock, bring to a boil then cover and simmer gently for 30-40 minutes until the meat begins to get tender. 6.

The gravy should by this stage be very thick, if it is not remove the lid from the pan and increase the heat to boil off excess moisture until the gravy thickens.
