2. Blend Beef and Ice: Place the chopped beef into a blender. Add the ice cubes (make sure to crush the ice in the blender). Blend until the mixture is very smooth. The ice helps to achieve a smooth texture and keeps the mixture cold.

3. Incorporate Egg White: Add the egg white to the beef mixture in the blender. Blend again until well combined.

4. Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle in the tapioca flour, garlic powder (or minced fried garlic), salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Blend once more until everything is thoroughly mixed and the mixture becomes a soft, paste-like consistency.

5. Mix and Knead: Transfer the meat mixture to a large bowl. Knead and pound the mixture with your hands or a spatula until it becomes smooth and cohesive, similar to a soft dough. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture for the meatballs.

6. Shape Meatballs: Roll the mixture into small, evenly sized balls.

7. Cook Meatballs: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and carefully drop the meatballs into the water. Cook until the meatballs float to the surface and are fully cooked through. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

8. Cool Meatballs: Remove the meatballs from the pot and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool down and stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain the meatballs.

9. Serve or Store: Your Bakso Sapi is now ready to be enjoyed. You can use these meatballs in a variety of dishes, such as a meatball soup, fried, or grilled. They can also be stored in the refrigerator for a few days or frozen for future use.

Enjoy the homemade Bakso Sapi as a flavorful addition to your meals! Whether served in a hearty broth or enjoyed as a savory snack, these Indonesian beef meatballs are sure to be a hit.
