Daging Bumbu Bali (Slices Of Cooked Beef In Chilli And Tamarind Sauce)
Like Semur, this is a good way to use leftovers, and very easy to cook.
500 g (1 lb) sliced roast beef
1 slice terasi
2 onions
2 cloves garlic
3 red chillis, seeded and crushed
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tbs dark soya sauce
1/2 cup tamarind water
2 tbs vegetable oil
salt
Crush the terasi and the garlic, and slice the onion. Fry the onion in oil until slightly browned, then add the terasi and garlic paste. Fry, stirring continuously, for half a minute or so, and add all the other ingredients, finishing with the meat. Stir well and let everything simmer very gently for 5-8 minutes. The mixture must not go dry, but the sauce should be very thick. Serve hot, with vegetables and rice.
Hard-boiled eggs are also good when cooked in this way.
