Some wannabe-Indonesian beef

OK, when I try to cook Indonesian dishes it always goes wrong at some point and I end up making part of it more in Western way. But as long as food tastes good and looks atleast OK, I'm fine with it.

I was thinking the other day that we hadn't eaten beef for a long time and went looking for a nice beef recipe when I tumbled against this one:

450 grams round steak
6 Granny Smith apples
6 tbsp olive oil
6 chives
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp Sambal Oelek
9 tbsp Ketjap Manis
2 tsp ginger powder
2 tbsp dry sherry
salt

Slice the meat in thin strips and mix in a bowl with about 2 tbsp of ketjap and leave it alone for about 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile peel and cube apples, crush garlic and chop up chives.
Heat oil in the wok, add meat and stir fry it until brown. Then move it to another bowl and set aside, make sure it stays warm.
Now add sambal, chives, crushed garlic and apples in the wok and fry couple of minutes, then add rest of the ketjap, ginger and sherry. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes and add the meat in, heat it up thoroughly. Serve it with rice.

I chose to serve it with some fried rice, nasi. I just boiled the rice and rinsed it under cold water.
Then added some green beans and peas in the wok, spiced it up with curry and ketjap and added the rice, mixed well and there you go.

I have cooked beef with apples before and was really happy how it turned out to be. The apples and sherry go along very well.
