Ingredients:

1	kg	(2 lb) topside (beef)
		MARINADE
1	tbsp	Olive oil
1/2	tsp	Black pepper
1	tbsp	Dark soya sauce
		BUMBU
10		Shallots
4		Red chillis (or 2 tbs
		-Sambal Ulek)
2	tbsp	Vegetable oil
		Salt
1	tbsp	Lemon or fresh lime juice

Procedures:

1	* cut the beef fairly thin and trim it into small, square pieces.
2	Marinate it for 1 hour or longer.
3	Remember that pedas=hot++spicy hot! this is fried beef, with a robust flavour of chilli.
4	Slice the shallots finely.
5	Seed and slice the chillis.
6	Fry them in a tablespoonful of oil, in a wok, stirring all the time until they are golden brown.
7	Add salt to taste.
8	Keep hot.
9	Put a tablespoonful of oil in a thick frying-pan, and fry the slices of meat a few at a time.
10	Three minutes on each side will be ample*.
11	When all the pieces are cooked, put them into the wok with the shallots and chilli.
12	Heat, and mix well.
13	Sprinkle over the mixture 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice, or, better still, fresh lime juice.
14	Stir, and add more salt if necessary.
15	Serve hot, with rice.
16	* note: in indonesia, the meat is usually fried until crisp.
17	You can even buy sun-dried dendeng which only needs coating with bumbu and frying.
18	Crisp dendeng can be rather tough, and i prefer it as described above; however, a purist might say that my recipe is not "genuinely" indonesian.
