Notes

This Spicy Beef Vindaloo tastes better the next day as the flavors deepen. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze for up to three months. For extra flavor, marinate the beef in vinegar, garlic, ginger, and spices for 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the chili powder gradually to find your ideal spice level. Serve with fluffy naan or rice, and consider adding a side of cucumber raita for balance. Enjoy this vibrant dish!
