used, as it’s almost guaranteed one of the first questions you will be asked!
*What seasoning did you use?
*How long did you cook it, and at what temperature?

Traeger on!

Here’s the recipe to go with the pictures to help make it a bit easier for you if you plan on trying this out:
1. Cut up 2.5 pound of beef chuck into large cubes and season with salt (Picture 2)
2. Grate or finely dice 3 large onions ~ 2 – 2.5 lbs (Picture 3)
3. Heat up charcoal. (I used a finer grate to stop the lump charcoal from falling through and used a vortex) (Picture 4-5)
4. Toast dry spices – 20 Kashmiri chilis, 20 black peppercorns, 16 dried cloves, 2” piece of cinnamon, 2 teaspoons cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon mustard seeds (Picture 6)
5. Make vindaloo paste by blending together: toasted dried spices, 20 cloves of garlic, 2” piece of ginger, 1 cup of apple cider or red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar (Picture 7)
6. Coat beef with vindaloo paste (Picture 8)
7. Fry up onions until golden brown (Picture 9)
8. Add in beef to the pan and sautee for 5 min, add enough water to cover beef and smoke for 2 hours at 250 with apple wood chunks, also add 60ml of Feni (indian coconut/cashew alcohol) or any smokey liquor i.e Tequila/Mascal (Picture 10, 11)
9. You may need to top up the water if it’s evaporating too fast
10. After 2 hours the beef should start to tenderize but you should still have enough gravy, if you take it off now you will have something like the authentic beef vindaloo (Picture 12)
11. If you want it super smokey (my preference), let it keep cooking until most of the gravy evaporates ~ 1 hour (Picture 13)
12. Have with some rice or naan, but it also goes well with sweet bread like hawaiian or filipino rolls
I also made a video for this if you prefer that instead: https://youtu.be/OJR8k0vKR2w
Yea. I’m making this as soon as I can. Thank you for your service.
