A specialty from Sanur Bali, enjoyed as a snack with boiled rice.

Rinse the meaty bones thoroughly, cover, and cook in a covered casserole dish for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, wash, trim, peel, and finely chop the vegetables for the broth. Wash the chilies and kaffir lime leaves and use them whole. Discard the cooking water, rinse the bones again, clean the pot, add the water, and add the bones, the prepared vegetables, the beef broth, and the oyster sauce. Simmer for 120 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the fresh or thawed beef fillet across the grain into approximately 6 mm thick slices. Cut the slices into 2 x 3 cm pieces and marinate with Kecap Tim Ikan and sesame oil. Clean the vegetables for the garnish and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Special: Squeeze the garlic, peel, quarter, and deseed the tomatoes. Cut the fresh, leafless celery stalks crosswise into approximately 3 mm wide rolls. Drain the marinated meat pieces and pat them dry slightly on kitchen paper. Strain the broth and return it to the pot. Separate the lean meat from the bones and add it to the broth. Add the prepared vegetables and simmer for 8 minutes. Heat the sunflower oil in a pan until very hot, add the marinated meat pieces, and stir-fry until they change color. Transfer to the prepared serving bowls. Add the soup, garnish, and serve warm.
