Tips for Making Perfect Beef Korma
Sear The Beef: Start with searing the beef in the Instant Pot prior to starting it. This will enhance the flavor.
Fresh Ingredients: Make sure to use the freshest ingredients here such as the spices you use. This will give it a more authentic taste!
Seasoning Blend: A well balanced seasoning blend can make all the difference!
Natural Release: This is VERY important! Make sure to allow a natural release for 10 minutes so it doesn’t splatter everywhere and keep the meat tender and juicy.

Customize your seasonings if you’d like!
Don’t hesitate to alter any of the seasonings to your liking. We provided pretty basic seasonings but sometimes we like to add things like Coriander, Cumin, Turmeric, etc! This dish is pretty versatile when it comes to what you eat it with. We prefer eating it with Challow, an Afghan White Rice and our Salata but realistically it can go by itself or virtually with anything!
Storage Recommendations
Use Airtight Containers
We highly recommend using airtight containers such as Skroam’s 10 Pack Glass Containers because glass is best!
Refrigeration
Let the Beef Korma cool before you store them into the refrigerator. You can typically store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure you use an airtight container to avoid earlier expiration.
Freezing
If, for whatever reason, you cannot finish it in 3 days, you may freeze the Beef Korma as well. This will make it last up to 2-3 months but we recommend consuming it sooner for best results.
Reheating
Use an oven or stovetop when reheating the Beef Korma to get a similar texture to when you initially cooked it. However, a microwave will definitely work but keep in mind it may make the Korma less tender than usual.
