Add the beef and the pounded lemongrass and stir for 1 minute.
Add the coconut milk, water and simmer on medium heat, stirring frequently until the meat is almost cooked.
Add the lime leaves and  sugar, stirring to blend well with the meat.
Lower the heat to low, cover the lid, and simmer for 1 – 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is really tender and the gravy has dried up.
