Spice Paste:

  • 5 shallots, halved

  • 5 stalks lemongrass, bottom thirds only, peeled

  • 5 cloves garlic

  • 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root

  • 1 (1 inch) piece galangal

  • 2 tablespoons curry powder (Optional)

  • 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions

  1. Place shallots, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, galangal, and chile peppers in a food processor; process spices into a coarse paste.
