Sometimes something as simple as changing the cut of meat in a recipe can make the difference between an hour and a half of cooking to dinner on the table in about 20 minutes.

The spicy Indian dish Beef Vindaloo is usually made with chunks of stew meat that need to be simmered at least an hour. But by switching to thinly sliced top sirloin, about 10 minutes of cooking time is all that’s needed. Don’t let the ingredient list of this version discourage you--it really takes no time at all to get together.

Serve the beef with basmati rice and a cool raita to temper the beef’s heat.

Peel, seed and grate the cucumber. Combine it and the yogurt in a small bowl. Add salt to taste and the mint. Chill the raita until ready to serve.
