Ingredients

• 250 grams (1/4 kg) beef stew meat (pre-cut into cubes; available at the supermarket)
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Cooking oil (for sautéing)
• Water (as needed)

For the Marinade:

• 6 tablespoons teriyaki sauce (we used Saori brand)
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (Saori brand or similar)
• 1 tablespoon white pepper powder
• 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2-inch piece of ginger, finely grated
• 2 cloves garlic, finely grated
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef:
   Begin by washing the beef cubes thoroughly. Since the beef is already cut into cubes, there’s no need for additional chopping. Place the beef in a mixing bowl.

2. Marinate the Beef:
   To marinate the beef, add the following ingredients to the bowl:

   • Teriyaki sauce
   • Oyster sauce
   • Sweet soy sauce
   • Soy sauce
   • Sesame oil
   • White pepper powder

   Mix well until all the beef pieces are evenly coated. Add the finely grated garlic and ginger, and mix again to ensure everything is well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours.

   Tip: For more tender beef, place a small spoon or spoonful inside the marinade. This helps in making the beef more tender.

3. Cook the Beef:
   After marinating, heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a bit of cooking oil and butter. Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the chopped onion. Sauté the onion until it becomes fragrant and slightly translucent.

4. Sauté the Beef:
   Add the marinated beef to the skillet. Sauté the beef until it is browned and slightly caramelized. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

5. Simmer:
   Pour in enough water to cover the beef and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook gently until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together. This should take about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the beef cubes.

6. Adjust Seasoning:
   Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can add more teriyaki sauce or a splash of soy sauce.

7. Serve:
   Once the beef is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the beef teriyaki hot over freshly steamed rice for a complete meal.
