Don't know what to call this -- maybe Beef Bhaji?

This is something my aunt makes and it is sooo yummy, its like comfort food to me. The thinner you slice the meat, the faster it will cook, but it tastes good even if you don't slice it very thin.

Beef Bhaji

Ingredients:

2 lbs. boneless beef (I ask the butcher for "pasinda" meat) sliced thin in 1 inch wide pieces
3 tbsp onion puree + 2 medium onions sliced thin
1 1/2 tbsp garlic paste
1 tbsp ginger paste
1 cup yogurt
2 tsp salt
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil

Directions:

1. Mix the sliced beef with the onion puree, garlic, ginger, yogurt, and salt in a bowl.
2. Heat the oil in a pot, and brown the sliced onions until they are red (not completely fried).
3. Add the beef mixture to the pot. Cook on high, uncovered, until the water dries.
4. Once water is dried, stir fry until the beef browns on all sides.
5. Add a small amount of water, about 1/2 cup, and cook on medium, covered.
6. When the oil comes up, the beef is done. Goes great with plain white rice and lentils or other veggies.
