2 Red Tomatoes/Tomat Merah Mengkal, cut big chunks
5 gram Salt/Garam
¼ tsp White Pepper/Merica Putih
1 tsp Chicken Powder/seperti Royco
3 tbsp Sweet Soya Sauce/Kecap Manis
About 200 ml Water/Air
Fried Shallots/Bawang Merah Goreng, to garnish

40 gram Red Chillies/Cabe Merah Besar atau Keriting bila suka pedas
10 gram Turmeric/Kunyit
½ tsp Coriander Powder/Ketumbar Bubuk
1 tbsp Petis Udang/Indonesian Black Shrimp Paste
Methode:
Saute the grind paste together with lime leaves, galangal, salt, pepper & chicken powder until fragrant. Add in the beef and enough water just to cover the beef to cook it tender only.
After tender, add in the potatoes and more water just to make it tender. Add in the small chillies.
Before take out from the stove, stir in the tomatoes just about a minute so it won’t turn too soft.
Put in the serving plate and sprinkle with fried shallots.
Can be served together with plain steamed rice.
The Tips:
This recipe actually originally without the potatoes and tomatoes. I just add in the vegetable so it not too fatty to eat and can be a complete meal in one dish.
If U cook with any other stir fried vegetable, U can aside the potatoes and tomatoes.
The taste is more authentic.
