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.

Categories     Curries

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 kg stewing beef (Cubed)
1 onion
6 garlic cloves
4 tablespoons nut oil
2 slices ginger (2.5cm Fresh)
2 teaspoons mustard seeds (Crushed)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
6 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons paprika
4 teaspoons curry powder (hot)
4 teaspoons chili flakes
15 chili peppers (Sliced with seeds)
400 ml coconut milk (4th extract) or 400 ml water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper (Crushed)

Steps:

  • (2 Days before) Place the beef in a bowl and add 2 teaspoons of the curry powder and 2 teaspoons of the chilli, make sure it is coated evenly and fully and leave in the fridge to marinate.
  • (on Day).
  • Roughly chop the onion, mince the garlic, mustard seed, ginger and vinegar together to form a paste.
  • Add the oil to a large oven ready pan and fry the onions, garlic/ginger paste and the chillis till the onion is soft (this bit stings the eyes), add in the all ingredients except for the meat and coconut milk and fry for a further 2 mins ensuring the onions and chillis are covered in the powdered ingredients.
  • Add the meat and fry gently for 10 minutes to seal the meat.
  • Add the coconut milk and stir, bring to a boil and simmer for roughly 10 minutes until suace begins to thicken.
  • Transfer to the oven at 200'C for 30 minutes stirring regularly to finish off.
  • Serve on pilau rice preferably with a Lassi drink as thats the only thing that will cool your mouth down.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or brisket are good choices because they have a good amount of fat and connective tissue, which will help the meat to stay tender during the long cooking process.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the beef slowly: Beef vindaloo is a slow-cooked dish, so be patient and let the meat cook until it is fall-apart tender. This will take at least 2 hours, but it may take longer depending on the cut of beef you are using.
  • Use a good quality coconut milk: Coconut milk is an important ingredient in beef vindaloo, so be sure to use a good quality brand. Look for coconut milk that is unsweetened and has a high fat content.
  • Adjust the spice level to your liking: Beef vindaloo is a spicy dish, but you can adjust the spice level to your liking by adding more or less chili peppers. If you are not sure how spicy you want it, start with a small amount of chili peppers and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

Beef vindaloo is a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to impress your friends and family. With its tender beef, rich coconut milk sauce, and fragrant spices, this dish is a true taste of India. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give beef vindaloo a try.
