INGREDIENTS:

• 1.2kg beef ribs
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 small red onion, cut into thin wedges
• 375g Passage to India Vindaloo simmer sauce
• 2 teaspoons mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 3 carrots, shredded
• ⅓ cup coriander leaves, plus extra to serve
• Steamed basmati rice, to serve
• Finely sliced red chili, to serve (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Embark on your culinary journey by preparing the beef ribs. Place the ribs into a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Over high heat, bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the ribs simmer for 25 minutes. Once tender, remove the ribs from the heat and allow them to cool in the liquid. Drain the ribs and cut them into smaller, more manageable pieces.
2. Heat half of the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Add half of the thinly wedged red onion and sauté for approximately 3 minutes, until the onion becomes beautifully softened and fragrant. Pour in the Passage to India Vindaloo simmer sauce, allowing its bold and aromatic spices to infuse the dish. Stir in the prepared beef ribs, ensuring they are coated in the rich vindaloo sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the ribs simmer gently for 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender.
3. Meanwhile, in a separate frying pan, heat the remaining vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the remaining red onion and cook for 3 minutes, until it turns soft and translucent. Introduce the mustard seeds and cumin seeds, cooking them for 2 minutes until their enticing aroma is released. Add the shredded carrots to the pan and cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly while retaining their freshness. Season the carrot salad with a touch of salt and white pepper. Just before serving, stir in the coriander leaves, infusing the salad with a burst of herbal goodness.
4. As your culinary masterpiece comes together, it’s time to plate up. Spoon the steamed basmati rice onto serving plates, creating a welcoming bed for the flavorful beef ribs. Top the rice with the tender beef ribs and the spicy vindaloo sauce, allowing the indulgent flavors to cascade onto the plate.
5. Complete your presentation with a generous portion of the zesty carrot salad, adding a burst of color and freshness to the dish. Garnish with extra coriander leaves and finely sliced red chili if you’re seeking an extra kick of heat.
6. With your Spicy Vindaloo Beef Ribs and Zesty Carrot Salad ready to be savored, gather around the table and prepare to indulge in a symphony of flavors and textures that only Indian cuisine can deliver. Each bite promises an explosion of taste that celebrates the art of culinary craftsmanship.
