1. Prepare the Beef:
   Begin by washing the beef short ribs thoroughly. Place them in a pot with enough water to cover the meat and bring to a boil. This step helps to remove blood and impurities from the beef. Once the water boils, discard it and refill the pot with fresh water. Simmer the beef short ribs in 2 liters of water until tender.

2. Prepare the Spice Paste:
   While the beef is cooking, prepare the spice paste. In a pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, shallots, candlenuts, ginger, coriander, galangal, red chilies, turmeric, lemongrass, bay leaves, lime leaves, and cinnamon stick. Sauté the spices until fragrant and the shallots become translucent.

3. Combine Ingredients:
   Once the beef is partially tender, add the sautéed spice paste to the pot. Stir well to combine.

4. Add Coconut Milk and Seasonings:
   Pour in the diluted coconut milk and season with salt, sugar, pepper, and beef stock powder to taste. Mix thoroughly and continue to cook over medium heat until the beef is fully tender and the flavors are well combined.

5. Final Touches:
   Adjust the seasoning to taste, and then remove from heat. Serve the Soto Tangkar hot, garnished with chopped tomatoes, sliced green onions, and a generous sprinkle of fried shallots.
