Goan Beef Curry With Vinegar: Beef Vindaloo by Aarti image

Aarti Sequeira demystifies curry dishes in this episode. I really enjoyed making this dish. She also used heaping spoon measures of every ingredient. Feel free to adjust the amounts to you liking I found it a bit too spicy med-hot for my liking, so I will adjust the measurements for the next time. Also be sure to get a cut of beef that is likely to be tender. I used a beef stew meat and after over 60+ minutes, it still wasn't tender enough. Don't worry if you do not have whole spices or a spice grinder. I have included the ground spice equivalents. Recipe courtesy Aarti Sequeira & Food Network.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon cumin seed, sub. 1/2 t ground
2 cinnamon sticks, 2 1-inch pieces, sub. 1/2 t ground
6 whole cloves, sub. 1 t ground
4 whole black peppercorns, sub. 1/4 t ground
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (to taste)
1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste, recipe follows or 6 cloves of garlic and 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium red onion, sliced very thinly
1 serrano pepper, sliced in half with stem intact, sub, jalapeno but this is not as hot
2 lbs boneless beef top sirloin steaks, trimmed of all excess fat, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • For the wet masala mix:
  • In a small skillet over medium-high heat, toast the cumin seeds, cinnamon bark, cloves, and peppercorns until fragrant, about 1 minute. NOTE: if you are using all ground spices, just measure out and place in a small dish. No need to toast.
  • Pour into a spice grinder and process until powdered.
  • In a small food processor or blender combine the spice mix and the rest of the wet masala ingredients > ginger garlic paste and vinegar. Process until smooth. Set aside.
  • 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 wet masala, taking care because it will sizzle. 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 at least 30 -60 minutes. Then cook with the lid ajar for another 10 minutes to thicken the gravy slightly. This step may take longer until the meat is tender.
  • 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.
  • Serve over rice, or with chapatis (whole wheat griddle bread) or naan.
  • I made a raita recipe#47590. This is cool and creamy and will cut the heat.
  • Spread the raita on the flat bread, spoon on the meat mixture & enjoy!
  • GINGER GARLIC PASTE:.
  • 1/2 cup cloves garlic, whole.
  • 1/2 cup fresh ginger, peeled, 1/2-inch slices.
  • 1/4 cup canola oil.
  • 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.
  • ALTERNATELY, in place of the ginger garlic paste use: 6 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped and 1-inch thumb fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped.

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

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
If not using Ginger Garlic Paste, 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
Serving suggestion: Cooked rice and chapatis (whole wheat griddle bread).
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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

3/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
3 teaspoons coriander seeds
3 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 -3 tablespoons oil

4 inches gingerroot, grated

Steps:

  • Remove seeds from cardamom pods and grind them in a spice grinder along with the fennel seeds, cloves, cinnamon stick, fenugreek seeds, peppercorns, coriander and cumin seeds. Set aside.
  • In a heavy skillet or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat; add the onions, garlic and ginger, cook stirring frequently until lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: A tougher cut of beef, like chuck roast or brisket, will work best for this curry. These cuts have more connective tissue, which will break down and become tender during the long cooking process.
  • Don't be afraid to use a lot of spices: Vindaloo is a spicy dish, so don't be shy with the spices. The most important spices in a vindaloo are red chili powder, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. You can also add other spices to your taste, such as garam masala, fenugreek, or cardamom.
  • Use good quality vinegar: The vinegar is an important ingredient in a vindaloo, so make sure you use a good quality vinegar. White vinegar or apple cider vinegar are both good choices.
  • Cook the curry low and slow: Vindaloo is a dish that benefits from long, slow cooking. This will allow the flavors to develop and the beef to become tender.
  • Serve with rice or naan: Vindaloo is traditionally served with rice or naan. You can also serve it with roti or paratha.

Conclusion:

Goan Beef Curry with Vinegar (Beef Vindaloo) is a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. It is a great way to use up a tough cut of beef, and the spices and vinegar give it a unique and tangy flavor. Serve it with rice or naan, and enjoy!
