1-2 teaspoons ground red chili pepper
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground clove
6 tablespoons tamarind concentrate
3 tablespoons oil
2-3 medium tomatoes (1 lb/500 g), cut into small chunks
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
10 kaffir lime leaves or 1 teaspoon lime zest
1 Bring the water to a vigorous boil in a medium sized pot over high heat. Add the
beef and cook for 5 minutes. Drain the beef and set aside.
2 Using a mortar and pestle or food processor, grind the garlic, lemongrass, chili
pepper, cinnamon, clove, and tamarind until a smooth paste is formed.
3 Heat the oil in a wok over high heat. Sauté the paste for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant
and lightly browned. Place the beef, tomato chunks, salt, sugar, and lime leaves into
the wok. Stir until thoroughly mixed, bringing to a boil. Reduce to medium heat and
simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve hot with rice.
