Dendeng Belado
Dendeng Belado is a spicy Indonesian dish made from thinly sliced beef that is boiled, and then fried. It is topped with a fiery sambal belado made from a blend of chillies, giving it a bold and strong kick. The combination of savoury beef and spicy sambal makes Dendeng Belado a satisfying dish, often served with rice.
Instructions
- Boil the beef spices with all the ingredients above until they are tender. Once the beef slices are tender, take them out and pound them individually until it flattens - resembling the thinness of a dendeng.
- Deep fry the flattened beef and set aside.
- Set aside the fragrant liquid of the boiled beef to be used later on for the sambal.
Belado:
- Pound or blend the chillies and shallots coarsely.
In a hot pan, add the oils and sauté the blended ingredients. - Add in about 2 laddles full of beef liquid to loosen up the sambal mixture.
- Add in the seasoning and cook further till it becomes a sauce. Once you’re happy with the taste, switch off the fire and squeeze the lime juice over the balado.
- Coat the beef with the balado sauce and it is ready to be served.
