Simply Bo-vine! Beef Vindaloo

This little number is one of my favorite dishes from my childhood. My Mama Bird found this recipe in the local newspaper and trued making it. For such a random find it's a true gem!

Ingredients: 

• 1 pound top sirloin (or flank steak) 
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter 
• 4 cloves minced garlic
• 1/4 cup minced shallots 
• 2 teaspoons minced ginger root
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vinegar
• 1 cup beef broth 

Directions: 

1. Slice the beef as thinly as possible. (It helps if it has been in the freezer for 15 minutes and is a little bit firm and if you cut across the grain of the meat) 
2. Combine the coriander, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, cayenne, and the salt in a small bowl and set aside. 
3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. 
4. Add the minced shallots and cook until golden brown (about 2 minutes). 
5. Add the garlic and ginger root and cook stirring until fragrant (about 2 minutes). 
6. Add the spice combination from the bowl and cook about 1 minute. 
7. Add the beef, brown sugar, vinegar, and beef broth. 
8. Bring all ingredients to a simmer and cook until the beef is cooked through and flavor is well-blended (6 to 8 minutes).
9. Serve on a bed of rice or pasta and enjoy!
