Ingredients:
- 500 grams of beef ribs (approximately 5 pieces)
- 5 large red chilies
- 4 shallots
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger
- 1 thumb-sized piece of turmeric
- 4 candlenuts
- 1 packet of coriander powder
- 1 stalk of lemongrass
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 thumb-sized piece of galangal (crushed)
- Sufficient water
- A small amount of oil
- 1 packet of coconut milk (or as desired)
- Sugar to taste
- Salt or seasoning to taste
Instructions:

-
Prepare the Ribs:
- Begin by washing the beef ribs thoroughly. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and boil until tender. Once cooked, remove the ribs from the pot and drain.
-
Prepare the Spice Paste:
- While the ribs are boiling, prepare the spice paste. Blend the red chilies, shallots, garlic, ginger, and turmeric into a smooth paste.
-
Cook the Spice Paste:
- Heat a small amount of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the blended spice paste to the pan and sauté until fragrant and the oil begins to separate from the paste.
-
Add Aromatics:
- Add the crushed galangal, bay leaves, and lemongrass to the pan. Stir and cook for a few more minutes to infuse the flavors.
-
Simmer the Ribs:
- Incorporate the boiled beef ribs into the pan, along with sufficient water to cover the meat. Allow the mixture to simmer until it starts to boil vigorously.
-
Add Coconut Milk and Seasonings:
- Stir in the coconut milk, and season with salt and sugar according to your taste preferences. Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well combined.
-
Final Adjustments:
- Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens and the beef ribs are well-coated with the rich, red spice mixture.
-
Serve:
- Remove from heat and serve hot. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice and is perfect for a hearty meal.
