Spicy Indonesian Beef Stir-Fry (Tumis Daging Super Pedas)

Tumis Daging Super Pedas (Spicy Beef Stir-Fry)

Ingredients:

• 250 grams of beef
• For the Spice Paste:
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 shallots
  • 10 curly red chilies
  • 5 bird’s eye chilies
• Oil (for sautéing)
• Salt, to taste
• Flavor enhancer (optional), to taste
• Sugar, to taste

Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef: Begin by boiling the beef in a pot of water until tender. This will ensure the meat is soft and ready for stir-frying.

2. Prepare the Spice Paste: While the beef is boiling, prepare the spice paste. In a separate pot, briefly cook the garlic, shallots, curly red chilies, and bird’s eye chilies to soften them. This step will make it easier to blend the spices into a smooth paste.

3. Slice the Beef: Once the beef is tender, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Slice the beef into thin strips according to your preference.

4. Blend the Spice Paste: Using a food processor or mortar and pestle, blend the cooked garlic, shallots, and chilies into a smooth paste.

5. Sauté the Spice Paste: Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté until fragrant and the oil starts to separate from the paste.

6. Add the Beef: Incorporate the sliced beef into the pan with the sautéed spice paste. Stir well to coat the beef evenly with the paste.

7. Season the Dish: Season with salt, flavor enhancer (if using), and sugar to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.

8. Finish Cooking: Continue to cook the beef with the spice paste until it is fully cooked and the flavors are well-blended.

9. Serve: Once the beef is cooked to your liking, remove from heat and serve hot. Enjoy this spicy beef stir-fry with steamed rice or as a flavorful addition to your meal.

Feel free to adjust the number of chilies based on your heat preference. Enjoy your spicy and flavorful Tumis Daging Super Pedas! 😊
