Krengseng Tulang Sapi Recipe: A Flavorful Indonesian Delight

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 kg beef bones
  • 1 tablespoon shrimp paste (petis)
  • 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
  • For the spice paste:
    • 4 shallots
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • 1 tablespoon black pepper
    • 1 tomato
    • 5 bird’s eye chilies (adjust to taste)
    • 3 red chilies
    • Turmeric
    • Ginger
    • Palm sugar and salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Spice Paste:

    • Blend the shallots, garlic, black pepper, tomato, bird’s eye chilies, red chilies, turmeric, and ginger into a smooth paste. This will form the aromatic base of your dish.
  2. Sauté the Spice Paste:

    • Heat a little oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté until fragrant and the oil begins to separate from the paste.
  3. Cook the Beef Bones:

    • Add the beef bones to the pan and continue to sauté until the bones turn pale in color, ensuring they absorb the flavors of the spice paste.
  4. Add Liquids and Simmer:

    • Pour in hot water to cover the bones, followed by the sweet soy sauce. Stir well to combine. Cover the pan and let it simmer. Cook until the water reduces slightly and the bones are tender, approximately 40 minutes for bones or 30 minutes for meat.
  5. Incorporate Shrimp Paste:

    • Stir in the shrimp paste and mix thoroughly. Cover the pan again and allow it to simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and burning. Continue cooking until the liquid reduces to your desired consistency.
  6. Adjust the Seasonings:

    • Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with palm sugar and salt as needed. The balance of sweetness and saltiness is crucial for the authentic flavor.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Once the dish has reached your preferred consistency, remove it from the heat. Serve hot and enjoy this savory Indonesian beef bone dish with your favorite sides.

Tips for the Perfect Krengseng Tulang Sapi:

  • Texture: For a richer flavor, cook the bones longer until they are tender and the sauce is thicker.
  • Spice Level: Adjust the amount of chilies based on your preferred level of spiciness.
  • Accompaniments: This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or as a hearty main course in a meal.

Enjoy making this traditional Indonesian recipe that brings a burst of flavors to your table!
