Heat the oil in a wok; add the beef and its marinade, the bay leaves, galangal, lemongrass and lemon. Stir-fry over moderate heat for 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups water, cover and simmer until the beef is tender, 1-3 hours depending on cut of beef used. If the sauce evaporates too quickly, add another 1/2 cup water and continue to simmer. Degrease the sauce before serving.
