Fiery Red Beef Skin Delight

Spicy Red Seasoned Beef Skin

Ingredients:

• 1/2 kg beef skin or cecek, thinly sliced
• Ground Spices:
  • 7 shallots
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 6 red chilies
  • 10 bird’s eye chilies
  • 4 kaffir lime leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground galangal
  • Sugar, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Bouillon powder, to taste
  • Water, as needed
  • Oil, for sautéing

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Spice Mixture: Begin by blending the shallots, garlic, red chilies, and bird’s eye chilies into a smooth paste. This can be done using a food processor or a traditional mortar and pestle. Set aside.

2. Sauté the Spices: Heat a generous amount of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the blended spice paste and kaffir lime leaves. Sauté the mixture until it releases a fragrant aroma and the oil begins to separate from the paste.

3. Add the Beef Skin: Introduce the thinly sliced beef skin to the pan. Stir well to ensure the beef skin is evenly coated with the spice mixture.

4. Simmer: Pour in enough water to just cover the beef skin. Season with sugar, salt, and bouillon powder according to your taste preferences. Stir everything together, ensuring the seasonings are well distributed.

5. Cook Thoroughly: Allow the mixture to simmer gently over low heat. Cook until the beef skin becomes tender and the flavors meld together. This can take about 30 to 45 minutes depending on the thickness of the beef skin slices.

6. Adjust Seasonings: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, sugar, or bouillon powder to suit your palate.

7. Serve: Once the beef skin is cooked to your liking and the sauce has thickened, remove from heat. Serve hot as a flavorful side dish or main course.
