Ingredients
  • 1 kg Beef Meat (bone-in)
  • 5 clove Garlic (minced)
  • 1 Onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
  • 1/2 cup Vinegar
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 dried Bay leaf
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper (crushed)
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Cooking oil
  • Extra Water (for boiling)
Instructions
    Preparation:
  1. Peel, mince, and dice the spices needed in the recipe. Set aside.

  2. Prepare the beef meat by cutting it into bite-sized or desired-size pieces. Wash the meat thoroughly and drain the water.

  3. Cooking:
  4. Pour a sufficient amount of water into a pot and bring it to a boil.

  5. When it reaches the boiling point, add the beef meat. Cook the meat for 5 minutes, covered, in the pot.

  6. Remove the meat from the pot and discard the liquid.

  7. In a wok or pan, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat for sauteing. Add the garlic and saute for a few seconds, then add the onion and saute until translucent and soft.

  8. Add the boiled beef meat and stir-fry for a few minutes. Season it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir. Then add the vinegar and cook, covered, for 5 minutes without stirring.

  9. Add salt, ground pepper, sugar, and dry bay leaves. Stir and cover.

  10. Simmer it for 45 minutes or until the meat is fork-tender.

    Note: The quality of the meat used matters to make the meat tender faster. Add more water as needed.
  11. Cook until the liquid evaporates or the sauce becomes thick and caramelized.

  12. Taste it and adjust as necessary before serving. Add more salt, sugar, and pepper as desired.

  13. Serve it warm with steaming rice. Happy cooking! Share and enjoy the food.
