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.
All quantities are approximate.

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.
