Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef (stew meat, diced)
- 1 large Onion (finely chopped)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Vindaloo spice mix
- 200 milliliters Tomato puree
- 200 milliliters Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 100 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the vindaloo spice mix, stirring well to coat the onion mixture.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the diced beef. Brown the beef on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the tomato puree, coconut milk, and water. Stir to combine.
Add the white vinegar and salt, mixing well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the sauce is thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice or naan.
