Daging Masak Merah aka Beef With Red Sauce

As requested by my son, he wants tomatoes rice. So instead of chicken, I decided to cook beef with red sauce aka 'daging masak merah' & add prawn in just for Ally.

Ingredients:
500g beef
3-4 tbsp tomato sauce
3-4 tbsp chili paste
3 tbsp oyster sauce
1 lemongrass ~ crushed
2 tbsp food red color
100ml cooking oil
Salt to taste

Sliced:
6 shallots
3 cloves garlic
3 kaffir leaves
3cm ginger
2 green chilies

Directions:

1. In a pot, add the food coloring with the beef & set aside for 10 mins.  Then add water till cover the beef & boil on medium heat till the beef tender.
2. Dish the beef out of the stock, sliced the beef & set aside.  Do not throw the stock.
3. Heat oil in a wok, saute shallots, garlic, ginger & crushed lemongrass till fragrant.
4. Then add the sauce mixture & stir continously.  Add the kaffir leaves & green chilies.  Continue to stir.
5. Add the beef & mix well.  Add salt to taste.  Cook for about 3-5 mins.  If the beef mixture is dry, you can add the beef stock.
