Arisarmu - Indonesians really fond of any kind of meat which can fit on a skewer, including beef. Popular within the country, beef satay which is traditionally grilled over hot charcoal will be more delicious when it is served with spicy peanut sauce.
If you are wondering which beef satay chain restaurant (or stall) is the most favourite in around Salatiga and Semarang Regency. The answer is "Sate Sapi Suruh" (Suruh beef satay). So if you are traveling to these areas you can give it a try.
"Sate Sapi Suruh" is a tasty dish that remind me of my past when I met a lovely girl who now becomes my wife and she has given me amazing twin sons, although they are not identical twins. She introduced me a typical meal from Salatiga, delicious "Sate Sapi Suruh".
Salatiga people may claim that "Sate Sapi Suruh" belongs to them with the evidence of the existence of two stalls in the city and they are also as spots of culinary tourism there. So, where is this cuisine originally from? It is originally from "Suruh", a Sub-district in Semarang Regency, Central Java. It is just 28 minutes drive (14 km) from Salatiga.

On sunday morning after attending a special worship at GKJ Pranggen, we usually don't go there, we decided to have brunch, because it was too early to call it lunch and we actually had eaten breakfast at home. As we thought that it was a good time to have "Sate Sapi Suruh" in its homeland. And we were already so close to it.
The stall is on Salatiga-Suruh Rd. Its place is now bigger than my first visit with some friends of mine. It opens daily from 9 am to 8.30 pm, while the stall in "Pasar Suruh" (Suruh market) opens at 4 in the afternoon. We really enjoyed the delicacy of "Sate Sapi Suruh" which cost at IDR 26k (USD 1.90) per portion, although it was a bit sweet (the characteristic of Javanese food).
The satay is still prepared traditionally by grilling it over hot charcoal and it's served on a piece of banana leaf in a plate along with "ketupat" (compressed rice cake) and spicy peanut sauce (it depends on our request) on the satay.
The most surprising was, my wife met her former school mate after they both hadn't met each other for a long time, Supriyati, the owner of "Sate Sapi Suruh" in Suruh.
Her parents who sold "Sate Sapi Suruh" since 1965 in "Pasar Suruh" (Suruh market) had passed down the family recipe to all of their children who presently open "Sate Sapi Suruh" stalls in some places, Semarang (1), Ungaran (1), Salatiga (2) and in Suruh (2).
