Grilled Beef and Tamarind & Chilli Condiments

I have been wanting to grill some meat and dip it with delectable tamarind and chill condiments or air asam as the local call it but as time was passing by I am complacent about it still. Not until yesterday that I finally took out that beef from the fridge and decided that I would make the beef, finally to the delight of everyone. It might not too complicated to cut fine the beef and grill it but if you happen to have the wrong kind of beef parts, you might be in trouble as the beef might become hard. I suggest that you get the tenderloin for better results so that your eating experience will be a delight.

Ingredients
Beef
500m gm beef, finely cut
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 table spoon soy sauce
1 table spoon oil

1. Marinade the beef with the ingredients for about one hour, After an hour, you can grill the beef. If you do no have a grilling pan, then you can fry it in a non-stick pan.

Tamarind & Chilli Condiments (Air Asam)

1 big onion, sliced thinly
6 cili padi (bird's eye chilli), sliced thinly
1 fresh red chilli, sliced thinly
1 cup tamarind juice
2 table spoon kerisek
1 red tomato, chopped
1 lime juice
1 inch belacan (shrimp paste)
2 kaffir lime leaves, sliced finely
1 tea spoon sugar
salt, to taste

1. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and well in a bowl and serve with the beef. Make sure that the taste is tangy and hot with a little tiny bit of sweetness in it.

*serves 2-4 people
