Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb beef tenderloin
  • 1 Tbsp coriander seeds
  • 5 shallots (peeled)
  • 3 cloves garlic (peeled)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Cooking oil
  • Sambal ijo to serve (see note)

Instruction

  • Place all the ingredients for spice paste in a food processor and process into a paste. Add a bit of water to get it going if needed
  • Rub the beef with the marinade and let it marinade for 30 minutes. Place the beef in a medium size pot. Add in water just until it barely covers the beef and let it cook for about 45 mins to 1 hour or until the beef is tender but not falling apart
  • Remove the beef from the pot and let it cool down a little bit. Thinly sliced across the grain. Use a heavy object (I use a pestle) to pound the meat to about 1/4-inch thick
  • Preheat a small to medium non-stick pan with about 1 Tbsp of oil. Pan fry the beef slices until they are lightly brown and dry. Serve with sambal
