Semur Daging (Beef in Soy)

This dish is a favourite West Javanese dish that became popular in my Western mix family, as it is tasty but still mild (not spicy)

Ingredients:

• 1 kg bolar roast beef - cut in 3cm cubes
  
• 10 cocktail potatoes - wash
  
• 2 large carrots - peel and cut in 3cm length
  
• 1 large onion - chop in small cubes
  
• 3 cloves of garlic - crush
  
• 3 cm ginger root - peel and slice thinly
  
• 2 large fresh tomatoes or 1 can of sliced tomatoes - if fresh, chopped in small pieces
  
• 1/4 cup of sweet soy sauce (ABC kecap manis)
• 1 tea spoon ground black pepper or less if preferred
  
• 1/2 tea spoon of salt or less if preferred
  
• A pinch of nutmeg
• 1 - 2 table spoon vegetable cooking oil
  

Method:

• Saute sliced onion, crushed garlic and sliced ginger until soft and slightly brown in a large sauce pan
  
• Add beef and stir until the outside is slightly brown
• Add potatoes, chopped carrots, chopped tomatoes, soy, salt & pepper, nutmeg
  
• Stir and bring to the boil
• Turn heat down, put the lid on and simmer until everything is well cooked and soft

Serve with hot cooked jasmine rice, cucumber and Indonesian crackers or prawn crackers.

Enjoy...!
