BEEF VINDALOO ( THE REAL THING)



Beef Vindaloo ( the Real Thing) image

Hot, Hot, and aromatic. This recipe uses white wine vinegar and some sugar, and is unusual in that. This is a low fat version and therefore healthier than some recipes. You will need a grinder/blender or mortar and pestle to make this dish. Its a cracker. Ps. a glass of lager goes well with this.

GOAN BEEF CURRY WITH VINEGAR: BEEF VINDALOO



Goan Beef Curry with Vinegar: Beef Vindaloo image

Provided by Aarti Sequeira

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 (1-inch) pieces cinnamon bark
6 whole cloves
4 whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (more if you're feeling feisty!)
1 heaping tablespoon Ginger Garlic Paste, recipe follows, or 6 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped and 1-inch thumb fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium red onion, sliced very thinly
1 serrano pepper, sliced in half
2 pounds boneless beef top sirloin, trimmed of all excess fat, cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup cloves garlic, whole
1/2 cup fresh ginger, peeled, 1/2-inch slices
1/4 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • For the wet masala: In a small skillet over medium-high heat, toast the cumin seeds, cinnamon bark, cloves, and peppercorns until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour into a spice grinder and process until powdered. In a small food processor or blender, combine the toasted spice mix and the rest of the wet masala ingredients. Process until smooth.
  • Place a large (preferably nonstick) pot over high heat and add the oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the onions and serrano pepper. Stirring frequently, saute the onions until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Don't let them burn! Turn the heat down to medium-high if they're starting to burn.
  • Add the ground wet masala, taking care because it will sizzle wildly and steam up your glasses, if you wear them. Stir quite vigorously and turn down the heat if it's bubbling too furiously. Don't wash the food processor bowl yet. Keep stirring, with short pauses, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the masala comes together as one mass, about 2 minutes. Also, you may see little droplets of oil on the perimeter of the masala. That's a good sign!
  • Quickly add the meat and stir, coating the meat in the masala. Stir and cook about 5 minutes until the meat browns.
  • Remember that dirty food processor bowl? Fill it with 1 cup of hot water (from the tap is fine), swirl it around so it picks up any leftover masala, and pour that into the pot. Add salt and pepper, stir, bring the curry to a boil, and then turn it down to a simmer. Cover and cook 30 minutes. Then cook with the lid ajar for another 10 minutes to thicken the gravy slightly. Check the meat at the end of the cooking time; it should be tender and not chewy at all. Adjust the salt if you like, and serve over rice or with chapatis (whole wheat griddle bread).
  • Throw the garlic, ginger, and canola oil in a mini-food processor and let it go until it forms a semi-smooth paste. There will still be tiny little pieces in there, but overall, it should resemble a paste.
  • Save what you don't use in a small glass jar. It should last in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks. It's a delicious addition to marinades, pasta sauces, stir fry sauces, slow-cooker recipes, gravy etc. We always had a jar of this stuff in our fridge growing up.

VINDALOO



Vindaloo image

Recipe video above. Vindaloo is a traditional Indian curry that's not for the faint hearted! Big, bold curry flavours. Deep, vibrant red colour. Chunks of beef slow cooked to fall apart perfection. And yep, it's spicy! For serious curry lovers, it's hard to top this. As with all curries, use fresh spices for the best results (yes, spices fade in flavour over time). And no, unfortunately this won't work in a slow cooker, pressure cooker or instant pot (Note 7).Serve with naan for mopping and yogurt for cooling. ** SPICE WARNING!!! Read Spiciness note below. **

THE BEST BEEF VINDALOO



The Best Beef Vindaloo image

This recipe comes from Jacki Passmore's All Asian Cookbook, published in 1978. The curry is hot, as it should be, but has amazing depths of flavour. I've tried ready made pastes and numerous Indian restaurant offerings and nothing comes close to it, although my sons recently holidayed in Fiji and discovered a similar version in an Indian restaurant - one son told me that he had found the second best Vindaloo. Must have been good - they went to that restaurant 2 nights in a row, and they only had 4 nights there. I use a coffee grinder to grind the spices.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: A good cut of meat will make all the difference in the final dish. Look for a piece of beef that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat. This will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful as it cooks.
  • Don't be afraid of the heat: Vindaloo is a spicy dish, but that doesn't mean it should be unbearable. Adjust the amount of chili peppers you use to your own taste. If you're not sure how hot you like your food, start with a small amount and add more as needed.
  • Use a variety of spices: Vindaloo is a complex dish that uses a variety of spices to create its unique flavor. Be sure to use a good quality garam masala, as well as cumin, coriander, and turmeric. You can also add other spices to your taste, such as cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon.
  • Cook the meat slowly: Vindaloo is a slow-cooked dish that requires patience. The meat should be cooked over low heat for at least 2 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender. This will help to develop the flavors of the spices and create a rich, flavorful sauce.
  • Serve with rice or naan: Vindaloo is traditionally served with rice or naan. The rice will help to soak up the sauce, while the naan can be used to scoop up the meat and vegetables.

Conclusion:

Beef vindaloo is a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to impress your friends and family. It is a great way to use up leftover beef, and it can also be made ahead of time and reheated. So next time you're looking for a spicy and satisfying meal, give beef vindaloo a try. You won't be disappointed.
