Here's a recipe for Beef Vindaloo:

Ingredients:

1 kg (2.2 lbs) beef, preferably stewing beef, cut into cubes
3-4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 onions, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece of ginger, grated
2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust according to your spice preference)
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4-5 cloves
2-3 dry red chilies
Salt to taste
1/2 cup vinegar (preferably malt vinegar)
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions:

Marinate the beef: In a bowl, combine the cubed beef with half of the minced garlic, half of the grated ginger, half of the turmeric, half of the ground coriander, half of the ground cumin, paprika, and salt. Mix well to coat the beef evenly with the spices. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Prepare the spice paste: In a small bowl, mix the remaining minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, and paprika with a splash of water to form a thick paste. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, cloves, cinnamon, and dry red chilies. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped onions and green chilies to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the spice paste to the pot. Cook, stirring constantly, for another 2-3 minutes until the spices are fragrant and oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes are softened and the mixture thickens.
Add the marinated beef to the pot along with any marinade juices. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the vinegar and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the beef is cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread. Enjoy your delicious Beef Vindaloo!
