Did you eat beef/ cow skin before?

Or maybe you didn't know that beef/ cow skin can be so delicious when it is cooked properly.

Some countries like in Asia or Africa are familiar with this beef skin. Just like in Indonesia, mainly on Java island.

We called this beef/ cow skin "kerecek or krecek" in Java.

Krecek or kerecek can be made of cow or beef or buffalo skin. On islands like Bali-which mostly non-Muslim, they make "kerecek" from pig skin.

This "kerecek" is commonly found in Indonesian cuisine. We can find it fresh, clean, and ready-to-cook cow/beef skin in any traditional market.

Some are dried and can be fried as "kerupuk" or crackers.

Check my other Indonesian food recipes here, and find more than 185 rich and delicious Indonesian foods.

Some skin looks thin but some are very thick, especially from the head part. The best is of course a thick one.

Fresh krecek/ cow skin can be cooked into many kinds of dishes, just like what I am going to share today.

It's a "sate krecek". One of the popular street snacks in Indonesia. We also eat this spicy sate as a protein as well, together with rice and with other side dishes.

For those who don't want too much spicy, you can skip the birdseye chili.

If you can access fresh beef skin, try to find the thick one. But thin beef skin can be used also.

Beef/ cow skin is also sold in dried. This dried skin can direct fry them in plenty of cooking oil and eat it as crackers.

But when you want to cook it, just boil it for about 5 minutes or until tender.

If you have any questions, just drop me a comment in the comment section below. I'll be happy to respond as soon as I can.

How to make:

1) Wash and boil fresh beef/cow skin with a bay leaf until tender. If you use dry cow skin, boil for about 5 minutes or until tender, then wash and drain well.

Now you have cow/ beef skin ready to cook.

2) Pound the spices until smooth; shallots, garlic, chili peppers, and kaffir lime leaves. Heat about 2 tbsp oil in a wok. Sauté the spice puree until fragrant and looks oily. 

3) Stir in white/black pepper powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well. Add in the cow skin, followed by kecap manis (sweet soy sauce). Add a small amount of water.

Continue to cook until the water is dry. Check the taste, you may want to add some sugar, salt, or sweet soy sauce.

4) Remove from stove and let it chill to room temperature. Then wave the cow skin into bamboo skewers. Serve it immediately.

Note: You can warm up and grill over a grilling pan. Brush the pan generously with oil before grilling.

Enjoy.
