Instructions:
-
Marinate the Beef:
Begin by combining the thinly sliced beef with minced garlic, sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Allow the mixture to marinate for about 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld and infuse the meat. -
Cook the Beef:
Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef to the pan. Stir-fry the beef until it changes color, which should take a few minutes. -
Add Vegetables and Spice:
Incorporate the chopped tomatoes, red chilies, and green chilies into the pan with the beef. Stir well to combine and allow the beef to release its juices. -
Season and Simmer:
Season the mixture with sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. Continue to stir until the flavors are evenly distributed. Let the dish cook until the liquid has reduced and the sauce thickens, coating the beef and vegetables. -
Adjust Consistency:
If the beef is not yet tender or the sauce is too thick, add a little water and continue to cook until the beef is fully cooked and tender, and the sauce has reached the desired consistency. -
Serve:
Once the dish is done, remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Krengsengan Daging Sapi is best enjoyed hot, paired with steamed rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
