   • Begin by grinding the shallots, garlic, nutmeg, and black pepper into a fine paste using a mortar and pestle or a food processor.

2. Sauté the Spice Paste:

   • In a large skillet or wok, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the ground spice paste, cinnamon stick, cloves, and sliced onion. Sauté until the mixture becomes fragrant and the onions are softened.

3. Cook the Meat:

   • Add the beef and liver pieces to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the spice paste and allow the meat to brown slightly.

4. Add Sweet Soy Sauce:

   • Pour in the sweet soy sauce and stir to coat the meat evenly. This will add a rich sweetness and depth of flavor to the dish.

5. Simmer:

   • Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet tightly. Allow the dish to cook undisturbed until the meat is tender and cooked through. There is no need to add water, as the meat will release its own juices. However, if the dish starts to brown too much, you can add a small amount of water.

6. Season to Taste:

   • Adjust the seasoning with sugar, salt, and additional seasoning as needed. Taste and make any final adjustments to achieve the desired flavor balance.

7. Finish and Serve:

   • Once the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened, remove from heat. Garnish with sliced scallions if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice for a complete meal.
