Procedure

Marinating

edit
  1. Wash and cut beef into 2.5 cm chunks.

Cooking

edit
  1. Grind onions and garlic together.
  2. Soak carrots and potatoes in water.
  3. Heat oil in a pot. When hot, fry ground onion and garlic, shredded ginger, and cinnamon until the onions are brown and fragrant.
  4. Add marinated beef. Fry until meat changes color.
  5. Add water and simmer until meat is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent meat from sticking to pot. Add more water if gravy is too thick, and season accordingly.
  6. Add carrots and cook for 5 minutes.
  7. Add potatoes and cook until soft.
  8. Add tomato. If you like, you may add a tin of Spam luncheon meat, cut into thick slices or chicken franks at this step.
  9. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve.
