Yield: 6 servings
1 kg (2 lb) topside (beef)
------------------------MARINADE---------------------------
1 tb Olive oil
1/2 ts Black pepper
1 tb Dark soya sauce
---------------------------BUMBU--------------------------
10 Shallots
4 Red chillis (or 2 tbs-Sambal Ulek)
2 tb Vegetable oil
Salt
1 tb Lemon or fresh lime juice
Recipe
Cut the beef fairly thin and trim it into small, square pieces.Marinate it for 1 hour or longer. Remember that pedas=hot++spicy hot!
This is fried beef, with a robust flavour of chilli. Slice the shallots finely. Seed and slice the chillis. Fry them in a tablespoonful of oil, in a wok, stirring all the time until they are golden brown. Add salt to taste. Keep hot. Put a tablespoonful of oil in a thick frying-pan, and fry the slices of meat a few at a time.
Three minutes on each side will be ample*. When all the pieces are cooked, put them into the wok with the shallots and chilli. Heat, and mix well. Sprinkle over the mixture 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice,or, better still, fresh lime juice. Stir, and add more salt if necessary. Serve hot, with rice.
* NOTE: In Indonesia, the meat is usually fried until crisp. You can even buy sun-dried dendeng whichonly needs coating with bumbu and frying.
