DAGING BUMBU BALI - Indonesian meat-dish image

I have cooked this dish for more then 25 years and the only thing I have changed about it is that I don't eat it on the day I cook it. I put it in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze it, (leaving the leaves in), until I need it. This has two reasons, the flavors improve and as the cook I find you can enjoy it more because the smell of the spices, when cooking lessens your appetite.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb lean stewing beef, cut in chunks
2 medium onions, chopped
2 tablespoons sambal oelek
3 -4 birds eye chiles
4 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon shrimp paste
4 kaffir lime leaves
3 bay leaves
1/2 cup ketjap manis (sweet soja sauce)
1/3 cup oil (for frying)
vinegar
salt
sugar

Steps:

  • Add enough water to the beef to cover, bring very slowly to a simmer and cook until done, (as with making any stock, this can take a few hours).
  • Put in the food processor: onions, sambal, chilies, garlic and shrimp paste.
  • Process until you have a paste.
  • Fry this paste in the oil on a medium heat for a few minutes together with the kaffir and bay leaves.
  • Add the soja sauce, a little vinegar, the cooked meat and 1 to 2 cups of the meat stock.
  • Simmer for approx 15 minutes, and then taste for salt, sugar and maybe more vinegar.
  • Serve this with rice and other Indonesian dishes, what is really great as a little side dish is to quarter a few bananas and quickly fry them in butter until brown and starting to soften, keep warm in the oven until you are ready to serve.
  • The little chilies make this dish pretty hot and I sometimes leave them out.
