Spicy Beef Short Ribs Stew with Green Chilies

Ingredients

• 1/2 kg beef short ribs (tetelan sapi)
• 5 shallots (bawang merah)
• 100 grams green chilies (cabe hijau)
• 4 cloves garlic (bawang putih)
• 1 packet chicken seasoning (Royco Ayam)
• Salt, to taste
• Brown sugar, to taste
• Water, as needed
• 1 red tomato
• Cooking oil, for sautéing

Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef:
   Begin by thoroughly washing the beef short ribs. Place them in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and then simmer until the meat is tender. Once cooked, drain and set aside to cool. After cooling, rinse the beef ribs to remove any impurities and set aside.

2. Chop the Vegetables:
   While the beef is cooking, slice the green chilies, shallots, garlic, and red tomato thinly. These ingredients will provide the aromatic base for the stew.

3. Sauté the Aromatics:
   Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots, garlic, green chilies, and tomato. Sauté until the mixture becomes fragrant and the vegetables soften.

4. Season the Mixture:
   Pour a small amount of water into the skillet and add the chicken seasoning packet. Season with salt and brown sugar to taste. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

5. Combine with Beef:
   Add the pre-cooked beef short ribs to the skillet. Mix thoroughly to ensure the beef is well coated with the aromatic mixture. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is heated through and the flavors have melded together.

6. Serve:
   Once the stew has reached the desired consistency and the beef is fully heated, remove from heat. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy the rich, flavorful stew.

This hearty Beef and Green Chili Stew is perfect for a comforting meal and pairs beautifully with steamed rice or bread. Enjoy!
