  • 1/2 cup grated coconut flesh
  • 4-5 tbsp dried chilli paste

  • Heat the blended ingredients in a wok for about 2-3 mins with low-medium heat. Add in the chilli paste. Add some water if needed.
  • When the mixture is heating up, add in the beef. Stir until all the meat are coated well with all the ingredients.
