Place beef in water in a 4-quart pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Discard water and cool beef until it can be handled. Slice beef as thin as possible, then cut into 2-inch squares. Let drain in a colander for about 10 minutes before drying with paper towels.

Heat 4 tbs. oil in a 12-inch skillet set over medium-high heat. Add beef slices and fry for 5 minutes, or until beef is brown and dry.

Remove and set aside.

Heat remaining 3 tbs. oil in same skillet. Fry onions and garlic for 3 minutes. Add chili paste, salt and tomatoes. Cook for 5 mins. more.

Add beef and stir-fry for 5 mins to coat slices and distribute flavors.

Serve immediately with rice (to reduce spiciness) and a cucumber/ vinegar salad.

Serves 4 as a main dish or 8 as a side dish.
