Dendeng
10 pieces of thinly sliced silverside beef
1 piece of sliced ginger
1 handful of sliced shallots
1/2 teaspoon of whole coriander
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of pepper
5 cups of water
1 clove of garlic
Lado
2 handfuls of chopped red chilies
1 handful of sliced shallots
1 pinch of salt
1/4 of a lime

1
Using a mortar and pestle, grind the coriander, ginger, shallots, and garlic. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and grind to a paste.
2
Rub the ground spices onto the sliced beef and leave them for few minutes.
3
Boil the spiced beef on a medium heat until they change colour. Take out, place them on a mortar and pound each one to get rid of the water.
4
Heat oil in a wok, and deep fry the beef very quickly on a high heat, until they turn darker. Take them out and place on the mortar and pound each one once again.
5
Heat another oil in a wok, and once again, deep fry the meat until they turn brown. Take out immediately and place on a strainer. Let the oil drain.
6
Keep the leftover oil to saute the chilies later.
7
Again using a mortar and pestle, grind the chilies with salt to help with the grinding.
8
Add shallots, and grind again. You want to leave this coarse, so you don't need to grind them to a paste.
9
Saute the chili paste together with the leftover oil from before.
10
Give a dash of the squeezed lime juice, and mix well.
11
Place the beef on a plate, and pour the chilies on top.
12
Best enjoyed with a plate of warm rice.
