How to Make Beef Vindaloo

2. In a food processor or blender, combine 1 inch ginger (peeled and roughly chopped), 4 cloves garlic (roughly chopped), and 2 tablespoons white vinegar.
3. Process for about 30 seconds until finely minced.
4. Add 2 tablespoons chili powder (adjust to taste), 1 tablespoon turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon salt. Process until smooth.
5. Pour the spice mixture over the beef cubes, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).
6. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 large onion (chopped) and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.
7. Drain any excess liquid from the marinated beef.
8. Add the marinated beef to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides.
9. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 cup beef broth or water.
10. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 45-60 minutes, or until the beef is very tender.
11. Serve hot over steamed rice, garnished with fresh cilantro.
