Ingredients
  

  • 900 g beef (preferably stewing beef) cut into 5 cm cubes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp garam masala
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp mustard powder
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper adjust for heat
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 60 ml apple cider vinegar
  • 240 ml low-sodium beef broth plus more if needed

Equipment

  • Large skillet or Dutch oven
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Sharp knife and cutting board
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Cut the beef into 5 cm cubes and season with salt and pepper; let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef until golden brown, about 6 minutes total; set aside.
  3. Lower the heat to medium, add chopped onions, and cook until softened and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  4. Stir in garlic and cook for 2 minutes; then add spices and cook for another minute to toast them.
  5. Mix in the tomato paste and cook for one minute.
  6. Pour in the apple cider vinegar, simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce.
  7. Add beef broth, return the seared beef, bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning; if too tangy, add a teaspoon of brown sugar and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Notes

This Beef Vindaloo Delight is best made a day ahead as flavors improve with time. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze portions for quick meals later.
Enhance the flavor by toasting whole spices before grinding. Use fresh spices for the best taste, and caramelizing the onions is key for depth in flavor.
If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the cayenne pepper or omit it entirely.
