Serundeng Sapi / Spices and Beef

I have no idea how to call this dish in English but for sure it tasted delicious. The ingredients also easyly can be found in the market. Even my brother's gf who is not into cooking brought the correct ingredients home *hehehe... My brother woke up too early by his empty stomach calling for food at 4am *hihihi... so he called up his gf to take him for food hunting in our local traditional market nearby. They brought Nasi Uduk Medan for me, my little brother and dad *Mom was away to Puncak with her sis and bros* They ended up bringing to much food home and went back to slepp with over loaded *hahaha... what a nice Sunday morning. In my case, I have to work on my energy in the kitchen to lose my guilty feeling :p, you know what I mean....



The recipe actually calls for chicken breast but I am into beef this week hehehe... so I changed and adjust the ingredients roughly for 600 g of BEEF. Some I doubled the amount and some just added a little bit more than the recipe.
