Ingredients

• 1/4 kg beef
• 30 ml instant coconut milk
• 4 cups water
• Sugar and salt to taste

For the Spice Paste:

Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef: Begin by tenderizing the beef. Use a meat mallet or the back of a knife to lightly pound the beef until it is tender. Once tender, thinly slice the beef into bite-sized pieces.

2. Marinate with Spice Paste: Blend the garlic, shallots, and coriander seeds into a fine paste. Coat the beef slices evenly with this aromatic spice paste, ensuring each piece is thoroughly covered.

3. Cook the Beef: In a large pot, combine the water and instant coconut milk, stirring until well mixed. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil. Add the marinated beef slices to the pot. Season with sugar and salt according to your taste preferences. Allow the beef to simmer over medium heat, cooking until the liquid is nearly evaporated and the beef is tender and fully cooked through. This process will infuse the beef with rich flavors and ensure it is succulent and tender.

4. Fry the Beef: Once the beef is cooked and the liquid has reduced, carefully remove the beef slices from the pot. Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the beef slices, frying them briefly until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Your Fried Beef Delight is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve the crispy, flavorful beef with a side of sambal korek (a traditional Indonesian spicy sauce), steaming white rice, and fresh vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

Culinary Tip:

To make the sambal korek, blend together fresh red chilies, garlic, and salt, then stir in hot oil. This spicy sauce perfectly complements the savory fried beef, adding an extra kick to your meal.

Note:

For a healthier alternative, you can use an air fryer to achieve the same crispy texture with less oil. Adjust cooking times accordingly to ensure the beef reaches the desired level of crispiness.

This traditional Indonesian dish is a delightful combination of tender, marinated beef and crispy exterior, making it a perfect choice for any occasion. Enjoy the rich flavors and the satisfying crunch of Fried Beef Delight, and bring a taste of Indonesia to your kitchen!
