    • 2016 July 5, Tejal Rao, “Ending the Ramadan Fast With an Indonesian Feast”, in New York Times[1]:
      The semur is made the way Ms. Pratiwi’s grandmother and mother taught her to make it, though Ms. Pratiwi braises the beef more gently, in the oven, until it’s very tender and glistening all over with a dark, mellow sauce.
