Ingredients

  • Dendeng
  • 10 pieces of thinly sliced silverside beef
  • 1 piece of sliced ginger
  • 1 handful of sliced shallots
  • 1/2 teaspoon of whole coriander
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 pinch of pepper
  • 5 cups of water
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Lado
  • 2 handfuls of chopped red chilies
  • 1 handful of sliced shallots
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1/4 of a lime

Method

  • Using a mortar and pestle, grind the coriander, ginger, shallots, and garlic. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and grind to a paste.
  • Rub the ground spices onto the sliced beef and leave them for few minutes.
  • Boil the spiced beef on a medium heat until they change colour. Take out, place them on a mortar and pound each one to get rid of the water.
  • Heat oil in a wok, and deep fry the beef very quickly on a high heat, until they turn darker. Take them out and place on the mortar and pound each one once again.
  • Heat another oil in a wok, and once again, deep fry the meat until they turn brown. Take out immediately and place on a strainer. Let the oil drain.
  • Keep the leftover oil to saute the chilies later.
  • Again using a mortar and pestle, grind the chilies with salt to help with the grinding.
  • Add shallots, and grind again. You want to leave this coarse, so you don't need to grind them to a paste.
  • Saute the chili paste together with the leftover oil from before.
  • Give a dash of the squeezed lime juice, and mix well.
  • Place the beef on a plate, and pour the chilies on top.
  • Best enjoyed with a plate of warm rice.
