Spicy Fried Beef (Daging Goreng Berlada)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Spicy Fried Beef, known as “Daging Goreng Berlada” in Malay, is one of the many mouth-watering dishes that is part of the Padang cuisine, which originates from Indonesia. Growing up in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, I was surrounded by a haven of Padang restaurants. (And it’s fun to to do some food hunting, because a lot of them serve such delicious food!)

Malaysian Daging Goreng Berlada Spicy Fried Beef

You know how I love my spicy food. So it’s only normal for this to be one of my favorite dishes from the Padang cuisine. The beef can be super crispy depending on how long you fry it. And even after finishing my rice, I can continue munching on the beef because it’s SO addictive. That’s how amazing it is!

It’s also really popular to pair the “berlada” chili gravy with fried chicken, and let me tell you it’s just as good. Hope you’ll give this a try! 🙂

Course Main Course, Side Dish
Cuisine Malaysian
Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 lb beef (thinly sliced)
  • corn starch (optional)
  • 1 onion (quartered)
  • 1 tomato (quartered)
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 3 fresh chili peppers
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar

Instructions
 

  • Start by coating the thinly sliced beef in corn starch. Shake off excess.
  • In a pan, fry the beef until golden brown on each side. Drain on paper towel.
  • Put the onion, tomato, garlic and chili pepper in a blender. Pulse for 5-7 times at 1 second each.
  • In a pan, add about 4 tbsp of cooking oil and pour in the blended mixture.
  • Sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until it's cooked and season with salt and sugar.
  • Add beef and stir until every piece is coated. Serve with white rice. Enjoy!

Notes

*Coating with corn starch makes the beef crispy but is optional. You can definitely fry it without but I highly recommend it!
*Pulsing the onion, garlic, tomato and chili peppers as suggested is to get some texture for the sauce which I prefer. You can blend it till a paste if you prefer a smoother consistency for the sauce.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Repost because some people said there was no audio yesterday 🥲
Try these Crispy Air Fried Crab Stick Crackers for size. A classic snack that could almost always be seen during Chinese New Year festivities in Malaysia. All you need are some crab sticks, a bit of seasoning, and a few tablespoons of oil!
This is such an easy and addictive snack. I always have to make a lot if I’m sharing because I tend to finish the first batch all by myself 😂

Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Cocon Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Coconut Curry) @farahjeats 
Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
