   • Using a mortar and pestle or a food processor, grind the shallots, garlic, candlenuts, turmeric, black pepper, coriander powder, and red chili peppers into a smooth paste.

3. Sauté the Spices:

   • Heat the cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the spice paste along with the kaffir lime leaves, bay leaf, clove, cinnamon sticks, lemongrass, red chili peppers, and galangal. Sauté until fragrant and the color of the paste changes.

6. Simmer the Stew:

   • Cook until the beef becomes tender and the sauce thickens. Season with salt, sugar, and beef-flavored seasoning. Adjust the taste according to your preference.

7. Finish with Vegetables:

   • When the beef is tender, add the cabbage and tomatoes. Cook for a few more minutes until the vegetables are tender.

8. Serve:

   • Ladle the Tongseng Tetelan Sapi into bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted shallots if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
