Ingredients:
- 500 grams beef (sliced thinly)
- 1 large onion (sliced)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger (smashed)
- 5 large green chilies (sliced)
- 5 curly green chilies (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (kecap asin)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions:
-
Marinate the Beef: Begin by marinating the beef slices in a mixture of sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. For the best results, let the beef marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. The longer you marinate, the more flavorful and tender the beef will become.
-
Prepare Vegetables: While the beef marinates, prepare the vegetables. Slice the large green chilies and curly green chilies. Smash the ginger to release its flavor and mince the garlic. Slice the onion into large pieces.
-
Cook the Aromatics: Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion. Sauté until they become fragrant and the onions start to turn translucent. Add the smashed ginger and sliced green chilies, continuing to cook until the chilies begin to soften.
-
Add the Beef: Increase the heat to high and add the marinated beef along with the marinade sauce to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and allow the beef to cook through, stirring occasionally.
-
Season the Dish: Add the oyster sauce to the beef mixture, stirring to ensure even distribution. Season with salt, sugar, and ground black pepper to taste. If the dish seems too dry, add a splash of water to create a sauce and ensure the beef cooks evenly and becomes tender.
-
Simmer and Adjust: Continue to cook the beef until the sauce has reduced to your desired consistency and the beef is fully cooked. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
-
Serve: Once the beef is cooked to perfection and the sauce has thickened, remove from heat. Serve your Sautéed Beef (Tumis Daging Sapi) hot, accompanied by steamed rice or as part of a larger meal.
Enjoy this aromatic and satisfying dish that brings a touch of Indonesian cuisine to your dining table! 😋😋😋
