Recipe Introduction
(Slices Of Beef In Soya Sauce)
Serves 3 or 4, more for a rijstaffel
On my first night in Jakarta, my hostess prepared semur. No doubt she
felt it would be easy on my wimpy western palate, but I found its
sweetness strange and exotic. Of course a palate trained in the Midwest
during the fifties and sixties would have found anything exotic! Now
that I have toughened up, I know to serve a dish like this with plenty
of sambal for a balance between sweet and hot.
List of Ingredients
1 lb. beef roast, thinly sliced
2 shallots, sliced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 Tb. kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
2 Tb. butter
2 hard-boiled eggs, halved
2 potatos, thinly sliced
2 tomatos, peeled and chopped
4 scallions, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch of nutmeg
Thinly sliced fried onionRecipe
Fry shallots and garlic in butter until lightly browned. Add meat and
potato slices, and saute briefly. Add the tomato, soy sauce, salt,
pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well.
Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add eggs and cook for 5 minutes more. Add
scallions just prior to serving and garnish with fried onions. Serve
with white rice.
