- Seasoning powder (optional)
- Sugar (to taste)

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Aromatics:
- Begin by finely chopping the shallots and garlic. Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium heat, and sauté the shallots and garlic until they become fragrant and golden brown.
-
Add the Beef:
- Once the aromatics are ready, add the beef pieces to the pan. Cook until the beef is browned and starts to caramelize.
-
Incorporate the Vegetables:
- Gradually add the baby corn, sliced carrots, chopped cabbage, and broccoli to the pan. Stir well to mix the ingredients.

Add Liquid and Seasonings:
- Pour in enough water to cover the vegetables and beef. Stir in salt, pepper, seasoning powder (if using), and sugar to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer until the vegetables are tender.
-
Thicken the Sauce:
- To thicken the sauce, mix a small amount of cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the pan. Continue cooking and stirring until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
-
Finish and Serve:
- Add the chopped tomatoes and a splash of tomato sauce for additional flavor. Mix everything well and let it simmer for a few more minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
-
Serving Suggestion:
- Serve your Capcay Daging Sapi hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. It pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or noodles.
