Dendeng
Dendeng is a popular Indonesian dish made from thinly sliced meat, typically beef, that is marinated, dried, and then fried. It's usually seasoned with a flavorful blend of spices and is often enjoyed as a savory snack or a side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef (preferably lean cuts like top round or flank steak)
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Slice the beef into thin strips, about 1/8 inch thick.
- In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground coriander, and ground black pepper. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Place the beef strips into the marinade and make sure they are well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a richer flavor.
- After marinating, remove the beef from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.
- Working in batches, add the beef strips to the hot oil, making sure they are spread out in a single layer. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until crispy and browned.
- Remove the fried beef strips from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining beef strips until they are all cooked.
- Allow the dendeng to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed as a snack on its own or used as a flavorful addition to rice or noodle dishes.
