Instructions

Prepare the Beef: Begin by washing and cutting the beef into cubes. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the beef cubes. Cook until the water reaches a rolling boil, then discard the water and set the beef aside. This process helps to remove impurities and excess fat.
-
Sauté the Onions: Heat a generous amount of canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté until they become fragrant and translucent. This step is crucial as it builds a flavorful base for the stew.

-
Combine Ingredients: Add the prepared beef cubes to the skillet with the sautéed onions. Pour enough water over the mixture to completely submerge the beef. Stir in the sugar-free low-sodium sweet soy sauce and non-MSG beef stock powder. Mix well to ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Simmer the Stew: Cover the pot and let it simmer until the broth reaches a rolling boil. This allows the flavors to meld and the beef to tenderize.
-
Add the Chili Peppers: Slice the Cabe Gendot (chili peppers) and add them to the pot. Return the lid and let the stew simmer until the liquid reduces and the flavors are well absorbed by the beef and chili peppers.
-
Final Touches: Once the sauce has thickened to your liking and the beef is tender, remove the pot from heat. Serve the Semur Daging Sapi Cabe Gendot hot, paired with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.
This savory Indonesian beef stew, rich with the aromatic essence of spices and the kick of Cabe Gendot, promises to be a delightful addition to your culinary repertoire. Enjoy the comforting flavors and hearty satisfaction of this traditional dish.
