forgot to post. saturday night, we made dendeng pedas, with some variation for the better. and when i say better, i mean brackets-b-better-brackets-slash-b.

the marinade this time was: some soy sauce, equal tamari, pour over steaks in a glass pan and smush down. cover with lots of cracked pepper. plastic wrap pressed down onto it, fridge for an hour.

instead of frying them in the wok this time, i fried them a few at a time in a pan on the stove, storing in a clean glass dish. the marinade thickened a lot on the pan, i made sure to wipe it up with the beef as it cooked. i forced myself to book the beef until it was a little crispy.

then i fried the scallions, 1 thinly sliced jalapeno, and 2 thinly sliced cerrano chiles. then i added the fried beef and squeezed most of the juice of 1 lime over it all. stir fry and serve hot.

when i plate, i squeezed a little more lime juice over the beef. tres bien.
