Sapi Lada Hitam: A Flavorful Indonesian Black Pepper Beef
Ingredients:
- 1/4 kg beef, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large red chili, sliced
- 1 packet Saori black pepper sauce
- Cooking oil, as needed
- Optional: 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce (Saori brand)
Instructions:
-
Begin by washing the beef thoroughly under cold water. Pat it dry with a paper towel and slice it thinly to ensure even cooking.
-
Prepare the vegetables by mincing the garlic, slicing the onion, green bell pepper, and red chili. Set aside.
-
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and golden brown.
-
Add the thinly sliced beef to the pan. Stir-fry until the beef changes color and is cooked through. This should take around 5-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the slices.
-
Once the beef is nearly cooked, introduce the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and red chili to the pan. Continue to cook until the vegetables are tender but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Pour in the Saori black pepper sauce, stirring to coat the beef and vegetables evenly. Let the sauce simmer and meld with the ingredients for a few minutes.
-
For added depth of flavor, you may choose to mix in 1/2 tablespoon of Saori oyster sauce, enhancing the richness of the dish. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
-
Once the sauce has reduced slightly and everything is well combined, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from heat.
-
Serve the Sapi Lada Hitam hot over steamed rice or alongside your favorite side dishes. Enjoy this savory, peppery delight that brings a touch of Indonesian cuisine to your table!
This dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special weekend meal, showcasing the vibrant flavors of Indonesian black pepper sauce in a simple yet satisfying recipe.
