Marinate beef for ½ hour.
Heat the oil: add the beef and marinade, the salam, laos, lemon grass and lemon; stir-fry over moderate heat for 5 minutes.
Add remaining water, cover and cook until beef is tender, about 1 hour.
If the sauce evaporates too quickly, add another ½ cup water and continue to simmer.
Serve warm.
