Certainly! Hereโs a rewritten version of the “Daging Sapi Pedas Manis” recipe for the Love With Recipes site:
Sweet and Spicy Beef
Ingredients:
- 500 grams of beef, cut into small pieces
- 3 shallots
- 3 cloves of garlic (small size)
- 1 thumb-sized piece of bruised galangal
- 1/2 tablespoon of black pepper
- 5 red chilies
- 3 bird’s eye chilies (adjust to taste)
- Palm sugar, to taste
- 1/4 tablespoon of salt
- Sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), to taste
- 1/2 cup of water
- Flavor enhancer (optional), to taste
- Cooking oil, for sautรฉing
Steps:
-
Begin by cutting the beef into small cubes. Place the pieces in a pot and boil until tender. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
-
Prepare the spice blend: In a mortar and pestle or a food processor, combine the shallots, garlic, red chilies, bird’s eye chilies, black pepper, and salt. Grind into a smooth paste.
-
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground spice paste and the bruised galangal. Sautรฉ until the mixture becomes fragrant.
-
Stir in the palm sugar, allowing it to melt and blend with the spices. Continue to sautรฉ until the aroma is released.
-
Add the pre-cooked beef to the skillet. Toss well to coat the beef evenly with the spice mixture. Cover and let it cook for a few minutes.
-
Pour in the water and add the sweet soy sauce and flavor enhancer (if using). Stir well and adjust the seasoning to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer until the liquid has reduced slightly and the sauce has thickened.
-
Once the sauce has thickened and the beef is well-coated, remove from heat. Serve hot as a delightful main course for dinner.
