Heat oil in a wok on high heat and fry ground spice until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Then add daun salam and kaffir lime leaves and mix well.

Add beef slices into the wok, mix and reduce the heat to medium, and then stir until the meat is no longer pink and the juices become dry.

Add water to the wok and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a bare simmer, and continue cooking until all the water is gone. This should take about 1 to 1half hours, and the meat should be tender.

Last add salt, palm sugar, sweet soy sauce and tamarind paste. Then mix well, and cook until the sauce thickens and glazes the meat.

Turn off heat and serve warm or at room temperature with steamed rice and any dish you like.
Happy cooking 😍🙏
