Ingredients:
- 155 grams of beef, cubed
Marinade:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Sweet soy sauce, to taste

Spice Paste:
- 3 cloves garlic
- 4 shallots
- 5 bird’s eye chilies
- Sweet soy sauce, to taste
- Sugar, to taste

- Water, as needed
Preparation Steps:
-
Marinating the Beef:
- Begin by thoroughly washing the beef and cutting it into cubes.
- In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, sweet soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Place the marinated beef in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
-
Cooking the Beef:
- After marinating, remove the beef from the refrigerator.
- Grill the beef cubes until they are perfectly cooked. Traditional charcoal grilling imparts a wonderful smoky flavor, but using a non-stick pan or skillet works well too.
-
Preparing the Spice Paste:
- In a food processor or mortar and pestle, blend the garlic, shallots, and bird’s eye chilies into a fine paste.
- In a pan, heat a small amount of oil and sauté the spice paste until fragrant.
- Add the grilled beef cubes to the pan and stir well to combine with the spice paste.
- Pour in enough water to create a sauce, and season with sweet soy sauce, sugar, and salt to taste.
- Simmer the beef in the sauce until it is well-coated and the flavors are absorbed. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
-
Serving:
- Once the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat.
- Serve the Sate Sapi Goreng hot, accompanied by steamed rice or as part of a larger Indonesian meal spread.
