Method:
Combine beef with sweet soy sauce and
mix thoroughly. Set aside. Heat margarine and gently fry
shallots until golden brown. Add ground spices, salam leaf,
nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon and mace. Fry until fragrant, then
add beef with sweet soy sauce. When the ingredients are cooked,
add water to cover beef. Cook until meat is tender and the gravy
has thickened, then add chopped tomato. Serve hot with a
sprinkle of fried shallots. An additional 300g potatoes,
quartered and fried until golden brown may be added after beef is
tender. Beef can be replaced with fried bean curd or chicken.
