Ingredients

  • 500 grams beef (preferably from the tenderloin), cut into cubes

For the Spice Paste:

  • 4 shallots
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3 candlenuts
  • 1 slice ginger
  • 6 bird’s eye chilies
  • Ground black pepper, to taste

Additional Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • Salt, to taste
  • Brown sugar or granulated sugar, to taste
  • Flavor enhancer (optional), to taste
  • ¾ tablespoon sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
  • 8 tablespoons roasted peanuts, finely ground

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef:

    • Begin by boiling the beef cubes in a pot of water until tender. Season with a pinch of salt. Once the beef is cooked and the water has mostly evaporated, remove the beef from the pot and drain. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Spice Paste:

    • While the beef is cooking, prepare the spice paste. In a blender or food processor, combine shallots, garlic, candlenuts, ginger, bird’s eye chilies, and ground black pepper. Blend until smooth.
  3. Cook the Spice Paste:

    • Heat the margarine in a pan over medium heat. Add the blended spice paste and sauté until it becomes aromatic and slightly caramelized. Pour in 1.5 cups of the beef cooking liquid and bring to a boil.
  4. Combine Ingredients:

    • Once the mixture is boiling, add the cooked beef and ground roasted peanuts. Stir well to combine.
  5. Adjust the Seasonings:

    • Season the dish with brown sugar, salt, and flavor enhancer if using. Add the sweet soy sauce and continue cooking until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
  6. Serving:

    • Transfer the beef to a serving dish. If you prefer, you can skewer the beef pieces onto bamboo sticks and arrange them on a plate, then drizzle with the peanut sauce.
  7. Enjoy:

    • Serve hot with steamed rice. Enjoy your flavorful Indonesian beef satay!

Tips:

  • For an extra touch of authenticity, serve the satay with additional chopped peanuts and fresh cucumber slices.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of bird’s eye chilies in the spice paste.

Happy cooking! This dish promises a burst of flavors that will surely delight your family and friends.
