Thai Tamarind Sweet and Sour Beef
Tamarind is an amazing flavour - it’s bitter so I can’t imagine cooking without some cane sugar to balance its tartness.

Ingredients
½ lb | stew beef |
3 | onions |
3 | peppers |
1 diced | carrot |
chilies | |
1 tsp | cumin |
4 tbl | tamarind |
¼ c | brown sugar |
¼ c | apple cider vinegar |
soy sauce | |
beef bouillion | |
1 c | chopped mango |
rice |
Steps
- Start with stew beef cut into chunks and brown it with onions and peppers (too bad you can’t buy Costa Rica peppers in Canada). Colours are good. Add carrot.
- Once you have everything browned, throw in chilies, cumin and tamarind with some brown sugar and apple cider vinegar.
- Season for hotness.
- If you need more liquid, soy sauce works. You can add some beef bouillion as well. When everything is mostly cooked, add chopped mango.
- Serve with rice if you like.
