I cook up beef qeema (minced beef) often. The reason is that it can be had on its own or as a side. Lately, I’ve been using beef qeema as a main ingredient in other dishes as well, such as beef crescent calzone and various types of pizza and pasta dishes.
I’ve been making this beef recipe ever since because I love the scent it brings into my kitchen. It makes me salivate just by thinking of it. if you are into savoury dishes, this is a must-try for you.
