Semur Daging Betawi (Batavian Spiced Beef)

My husband loves this meal and had asked me to make it since 2 week ago, so 3 days ago I prepared it and he thanked me so many times...(even the next day before it's all gone, he said he wants me to make another portion of it...). I did not have any idea he loves it that much...I am sorry dear for postponing for some days...
