Namkeen Gosht (salted meat) belongs to KPK and Peshawri Namkeen Gosht is famous due to its unique taste. The interesting thing is, it gets the ultimate delicious taste with a few ingredients.
I read many and tried some of namkeen gosht recipes, but the following recipe I liked the most in taste. I got the method from Dawn while browsing on google.
The original recipe has just mentioned the use of meat and typically this is made with beef. In Pakistani Recipes, this is a scrumptious meal idea for lunch and dinner.

Instructions

- The meat juices gradually steam and evaporate, sealing in the juices, and slow cooking to perfection. Avoid adding water, but if it needs, add a little to complete the cooking process.
