Nasi Kebuli Sapi: A Savory Indonesian Delight
Ingredients:

- 1 cup rice, washed and drained
- 50 grams beef, cut into small cubes
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed and finely chopped
- ½ onion, thinly sliced
- 7 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon kebuli spice powder
- 1 packet (70 ml) coconut milk
- Salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- Water
- Margarine
- Cooking oil
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Aromatics and Beef:
- In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of margarine along with 3 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped garlic, sliced onion, and thinly sliced garlic to the pan. Sauté until fragrant and the onions become translucent.
-
Cook the Beef:
- Add the diced beef to the pan and cook until it is browned. Sprinkle in the kebuli spice powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Continue to cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the spices become aromatic and the beef is well-coated.
-
Combine Rice and Spices:
- Stir in the washed rice, ensuring it is well-mixed with the beef and spices. Add just enough water to cover the rice (about 1 cm above the rice level). Allow the mixture to come to a simmer.
-
Add Coconut Milk:
- Once the water starts to heat up, pour in the coconut milk and stir thoroughly to combine. Adjust the water level if necessary so that it is about half a finger’s width above the rice.
-
Cook the Rice:
- Let the mixture simmer until the water level reduces and the rice absorbs the flavors. When the rice is almost dry, cover the pan and reduce the heat to very low. Allow the rice to steam and finish cooking for about 20-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and fully cooked.
-
Serve:
- Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
-
Accompaniments:
- Serve the nasi kebuli sapi with crispy fried shallots, pineapple cucumber pickles, and emping (crispy melinjo crackers) for a complete meal experience.
