Originally an Indonesian dish, Malay settlers introduced this dish into Southern Philippines. It is now popular through out the country.
Ingredients:
1kg beef (eg rump steak), cut into 3cm cubes
2 onions, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
4 red Thai birds' eye chillies, minced
120ml water
2 tsp ground coriander seeds
2 tbsp tamarind sauce
1 tsp ground turmeric
10 curry leaves
10cm length of lemongrass stem, tough outer layers removed
1l coconut milk
Method:
Combine the onions, garlic, ginger, chillies and water in a food processor. Process until you have a smooth paste then combine in a bowl with the beef. Toss to coat then mix in the curry leaves, coriander seeds, turmeric, tamarind sauce and lemongrass. Toss once more to mix then cover and set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
After this time, combine the beef, marinade and coconut milk in a wok or large pan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally for the first 30 minutes and frequently for the last 30 minutes.
The beef should be very tender by the end and the sauce should be almost dry.
Remove the lemongrass and serve hot, accompanied by rice.
