DESCRIPTION

It's easier than you think to make my favourite Indonesian restaurant dish - Sup Buntut. Many people get put off by the fact that you're eating oxtail but trust me! It's so comforting and delicious you forget what you're eating!

STEPS

  1. Boil oxtail and beef chuck with enough water for at least 1.5 hours. You can use a pressure cooker if you have one too. Set aside while you prepare the rempah.
  2. Blend onion, garlic, shallots, ginger, garlic, galangal and candlenut into a fine paste. Add in turmeric powder too.
  3. In a big pot, add vegetable oil, and saute the blended ingredients with the lemongrass stalks until fragrant and it gets a little dry.
  4. Add in the stock from boiling the oxtail, then add in the beef and oxtail as well. Cover and let it cook for another hour.
  5. Add in stock cube, sup bunjut and potatoes. Cover and cook on medium low heat until the potatoes are fork tender. This would take at least 20 minutes.
  6. Add in tomatoes and corn and cover. Switch off the flame and let the corn cook with the residual heat.
  7. Serve with white rice , some cucumbers and sambal belacan.
