I love cooking Indian food and admit that I’ve found ways to make a recipe quicker to whip up to get onto the table faster. If you’ve been looking for Indian beef recipes on my site, you will know my authentic South Indian Beef Fry is a big favorite.

Another recipe my family is served with different additions to the pot is my easy peasy Beef Keema recipe.

But before I share the recipe, I have to ask, where do you buy your meat from?

Our family generally sources our meat from our local grocery store, but that may change after our recent meat sourcing!

This is a sponsored campaign. All opinions, though, are my own.

A Great New Way to Buy Meat!Founded by Robert Rebholtz Sr., a pioneer in the gourmet beef industry with its stellar contribution of American Wagyu Beef, Snake River Farms provide families across the US with a quality farm to table experience.

We were blessed to receive a generous package of gourmet hot dogs, Wagyu ground beef, and filet mignon.

What a treat!

Our shipment came well packaged, frozen, in an insulated bag, placed with a carton filled with dry ice.

Take a peek into our bag, and you can see just how beautifully the meat came delivered to our doorstep.

Very impressed!

You can choose to order in bulk or sign up for a subscription plan.

Wagyu steak, brisket, roast, ribs, Karubota pork, and more!

You can also stuff it in Mince Buns or this delicious Stuffed Green Peppers recipe.


It may be made on a pan over the stove or even in your instant pot.

15 minutes of prep work and a 10-minute timer in your instant pot are all that’s needed to bring a hearty Beef Keema together.


This is such an easy recipe.


On the first night, I served ours over a bed of Basmati rice.

This tastes so good with Pea Pilaf,


or with naan.

My kids love eating it this way.


If you have leftovers the next day, heat the Keema on a pan to dry it out a bit, and serve it with tortilla chips.


Add a little salsa or grated cheese, and you have a simplified desi version of a tostada!

Yum!


I can’t wait for you to try this. It is my favorite Indian beef recipe to whip up in a short amount of time.


If you want another winner of a recipe to use with your American Wagyu Hamburger Meat, these Oven Baked Meatballs with Hidden Veggies are any mama’s trump card!


Let me know what turns out to be a family favorite when your Snake River Farms order comes in.


I would love recommendations on what to get next!
