Literally salivating looking at your pictures. Need some kulfi after it, I think.

They do look like good vindaloos !
How was the beef please ToL ? - I mean was it tender and moist ? I've always struggled with beef in BIR cooking :):
A curry can never be ‘too garlicky’ or ‘too hot’ .....

Which part are you using?

I've had good results with good quality meat and worse quality meat has needed some pre-cooking to get tender.

Once you get a piece of red meat on the board, it's possible to tell how tender it is during cutting.
They've been cooking on Blue Peter, now they're sampling the dishes,
I don't normally like tomatoes John but this is delicious.

Hi - yes the Beef was actually 4 quick fry steaks from waitrose, cut with scissors into regular slices (you can see them in the pics)

My wife used a beef stock cube and simmered the meat for 10 minutes, drained it and put to one side to cook in the sauce.

It was actually lovely to eat like that, soft - not chewy.

She would have cooked it in some base sauce in the same way but we didn`t have any to spare.

Hope this helps?
