| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. In a heavy 8- to 10-inch skillet, heat the oil over moderate heat until it is very hot but not smoking.
|
2. Brown the beef in the hot oil for 2 or 3 minutes, turning it frequently with a spoon and regulating the heat so that it colors richly and evenly without burning.
|
3. With a slotted spoon transfer the beef to a plate. Add the onions and garlic to the pan. Stirring occasionally, cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until they are soft and a delicate golden brown.
|
4. Return the beef and the juices that have accumulated under it to the skillet. Add the chilies, ginger and sugar and stir for a minute or so, then mix in the tamarind water.
|
5. Remove the pan from the heat and serve the sambal badjak at room temperature.
