Daging Ketuk Padang (Crispy Beef Jerky Padang style)

This recipe I learned from my maid who learned from my sister Aina

but mine is extra crispy!! :)

The beef slices are crispy and the chili and onion sweet and mildly spicy.. 

300 grams of beef

4 chillies

1 big onion

1 and a half tablespoon sugar 

pinch of salt

vegetable oil for frying

1. Boil the beef block till cooked through.

2. Thinly slice the beef

3. With a meat tenderizer or a pastel pound the beef slices until resembles torn pieces of cloth (LOL! what a description!)

4. Heat up oil for deep frying (low heat is better)

5. Deep fry the beef slices till crispy. Drain on paper towel.

To make the topping
1. Cut up onions and red chillies into smaller pieces. If you prefer you may take the seeds out. 

2. Using a pastel and mortar coarsely pound the ingredients. If you are using the food processor, a few spurts will do.

3. Heat 3 tablespoon of vegetable oil. 

4. Put in the chillies and onion paste. Fry till translucent. 

5. Add the sugar and salt to taste. 

6. Turn of the heat and smoother over the crispy beef slices.
