INDONESIAN SWEET SPICY BRAISED BEEF

This traditional Indonesian braised beef are usually have Savory and sweet taste. It require a little bit time in cooking, braised with a lot of spices. This recipe, have been modified to my own tasting.

In order for the meat stew seasoning to absorb well, the selection of beef must also be right.Even though the meat has no fat in it, it is difficult for the spices to be absorbed optimally.I suggest you to choose the meat from the thigh or preferably with a little fat. In addition, the sirloin meat usually has a more delicious and juicy taste character.
