Tips:

To easily slice the beef thinly, freeze it beforehand.

1. Preparing the Beef:

   • Thinly slice the beef.
   • Marinate the beef with all the ingredients listed under “Marinade (Bahan A).” Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour or at least 30 minutes.

2. Cooking the Dish:

   • Sauté the garlic paste until fragrant. Then add the sliced onion and continue to stir-fry.
   • Add the marinated beef into the pan, stirring gently to avoid breaking the thin slices.
   • Add a little water and the sliced red bell pepper.
   • Continue cooking until the water evaporates and the beef is cooked through.

3. Finishing Touches:

   • Once cooked, garnish with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
