Method
 

Meat Marinade
  1. Start by chopping up the steak into 1 inch chunks. Put in a container. Add spices and yogurt. Combine thoroughly. Put it in the fridge. Let it set for at least an hour.
Blend The Sauce
  1. Cut the veggies into quarters so they fit nicely in the blender. Pour olive oil in first. Then yogurt, then the veggies on top. Pulse into a liquid. If the blender is having trouble starting, add some water or milk.
  2. Add a little olive oil to the bottom of a large pot and heat on medium. Add your paste, add the spices, stir, and cook for 6 minutes.
  3. While cooking the paste, go ahead and start the steak. Add a little olive oil to the skillet and heat up on medium. Add the steak to the skillet. Sear the steak on every side, about 6 minutes. Take off heat.
The Rest
  1. Add the yogurt, heavy whipping cream, brown sugar and tomatoes to the paste. Turn heat to medium-low. Stir thoroughly. Cook until tomatoes have wilted, about 10 minutes. Taste and make any desired changes, more salt, sugar, etc.
  2. Add steak into curry, cook for another 3 minutes to combine flavors. Serve in bowls with a hearty scoop of rice on the side. Garnish with chopped pecan on top.
