About this recipe
Daging Paprik Thermomix TM7 brings a beloved Indonesian stir-fry of beef tenderloin, turmeric and fresh chillies straight into your kitchen with an all-in-one kitchen machine. Searching for quick weeknight dinner recipes with authentic Asian flavour? This golden-hued classic delivers exactly that: paper-thin slices of tender beef tossed with a fragrant paste of garlic, onions and chillies, then combined with crisp carrots and long beans. The TM7 handles the fiddly prep for you, chopping the aromatics to a uniform fineness that releases maximum flavour into the hot oil, while precise heating keeps the turmeric fragrant rather than bitter. Traditionally this dish demands constant attention at a scorching wok, but with guided control the beef seals quickly and the vegetables keep their bite. Serve it with steamed rice for a spicy main course that tastes like hours of work yet fits into any busy evening.
Preparation tips
- Slice the beef tenderloin as thinly and evenly as possible, ideally while it is still slightly firm from the fridge, so every piece seals quickly and stays tender alongside the carrots and long beans.
- Prepare the garlic, onion and chilli paste first in the mixing bowl, then transfer it before heating the oil; this keeps the aromatics evenly fine and prevents the paste from catching on the base.
- For a milder family version, remove the seeds from the fresh chillies and add an extra carrot for sweetness; serve with steamed rice to soak up the golden turmeric juices.
- Store leftover Daging Paprik in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat gently the next day; the turmeric and chilli flavours deepen beautifully overnight.
Recipe variations
- Make a milder kid-friendly Daging Paprik by halving the fresh chillies and removing their seeds, adding extra carrots and long beans for natural sweetness while keeping the golden turmeric colour.
- For a festive version, replace the beef tenderloin with prawns or chicken thigh and add sliced bamboo shoots and red pepper, creating a richer Indonesian feast when guests come for dinner.
