Chef tips
To achieve the perfect texture, cook the beef patiently over low heat until the liquid evaporates and the oil separates; this is when the meat develops a deep color and concentrated caramelized flavor. If fresh galangal is hard to find, use double the amount of ginger with a little lemon zest; serve with steamed jasmine rice and pickles to balance the spiciness.
