For the Sauce:

• 2 galangal slices

• 3 tbsp sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)

• Spices to be Ground:
  • 8 cloves garlic
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef Patties:

   • Drain the ground beef in a sieve to remove excess blood. Rinse with water and set aside.
   • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sliced shallots, beaten eggs, and the ground spices. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
   • Shape the mixture into patties according to your preference. Set aside.

2. Cook the Spices:

   • Heat a bit of oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the ground spices until fragrant.

3. Prepare the Sauce:

   • Add the galangal, lemongrass, and bay leaves to the pan with the sautéed spices. Cook until aromatic.
   • Pour in the coconut milk, sweet soy sauce, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.

4. Simmer the Beef:

   • Gently place the beef patties into the boiling sauce. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the patties are thoroughly cooked and the flavors are absorbed, approximately 20-30 minutes.

5. Final Touches:

   • Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or sweet soy sauce as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
