Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:

   • Wash the beef thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized cubes.

2. Make the Spice Paste:

   • In a blender or food processor, combine the garlic, shallots, black pepper, ginger, turmeric, galangal, cloves, and candlenuts. Blend into a smooth paste.

3. Cook the Spice Paste:

   • Heat a little oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the blended spice paste and sauté until fragrant.

4. Simmer the Soup:

5. Finish the Soup:

   • Once the beef is tender, add the diced tomatoes and sliced green onions. Stir and cook for another 5-10 minutes until the tomatoes are softened.
   • Season with salt to taste. Remove from heat.
