Instructions:

Prepare the Beef:
Begin by washing the beef thoroughly. Slice it into medium-thin strips and drain well. -
Make the Spice Blend:
In a blender, combine the shallots, garlic, ginger, black pepper (if using), sweet fennel seeds, and grated nutmeg. Blend until you have a smooth paste. -
Season the Beef:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained beef with the blended spice mixture. Season with salt and sweet soy sauce to taste. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated with the spices and seasoning. -
Heat the Oil:
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the beef. -
Fry the Beef:
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the seasoned beef to the pan. Stir occasionally, and add a bit of water as needed to keep the beef moist. Continue frying until the beef is cooked through and has developed a golden-brown crust. -
Adjust Water:
If the water evaporates and the beef is not yet tender, add a little more water and continue cooking. Repeat as necessary until the beef is tender and fully cooked. -
Serve:
Once the beef is tender and the flavors are well-blended, remove from heat. Serve hot and enjoy this delicious, crispy Indonesian snack!
