Ingredients:

  • 500 grams (1/2 kg) beef
  • For Sautéing:
    • 10 cloves garlic
    • 1.5 cm ginger
  • For Additional Seasoning:
    • 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
    • 1/2 tablespoon flavor enhancer (Masako)
    • 1.5 tablespoons granulated sugar
    • 5 tablespoons black pepper
  • For Marinating Beef:
    • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
    • 4 tablespoons oyster sauce
    • 3 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
  • For Garnish:
    • 7 large red chilies (seeds removed and diced)
    • 7 green chilies (seeds removed and diced)
    • 1 large onion (diced)
  • Thickening Agent:
    • 3 tablespoons water
    • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (mixed with the water)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Beef:

    • Slice the beef into long strips and marinate with the marinade ingredients (cooking oil, oyster sauce, and sweet soy sauce). Allow it to marinate for at least 1 hour to absorb the flavors.
  2. Prepare the Aromatics:

    • Finely chop the garlic and ginger. Sauté them in a pan over medium heat until fragrant.
  3. Cook the Beef:

    • Add the marinated beef to the pan with the sautéed aromatics. Stir to combine and let it cook until the beef is browned. Cover the pan with a lid to retain moisture.
  4. Add Seasonings:

    • Once the beef is partially cooked and the liquid has reduced slightly, add 2 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of flavor enhancer, and 1.5 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
  5. Incorporate Garnish Ingredients:

    • Stir in the diced red and green chilies, and the diced onion. Continue cooking, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  6. Add Black Pepper:

    • Sprinkle 5 tablespoons of black pepper into the pan, mixing thoroughly to coat the beef with the pepper.
  7. Thicken the Sauce:

    • Combine the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour this into the pan and stir well. Cook until the sauce thickens and the beef is tender and fully cooked.
  8. Serve:

    • Serve the Black Pepper Beef hot with steamed rice. Enjoy the robust and spicy flavors of this dish!

This recipe captures the essence of Indonesian cuisine with a flavorful blend of spices and a touch of sweetness, balanced perfectly with the kick of black pepper.
