A gorgeous and easy Beef Rendang that still leaves a lovely heat in the back of your throat after each bite but the heat doesn't ever overpower the dish. This is now a regular dish made by me.

Ingredients

3 hungry people
  1. 3 tspOil
  2. 7 Clovesgarlic
  3. 2small Onions, peeled and chopped
  4. 1 kgSteak. I like using rump
  5. 3Large fresh red chillies
  6. 1/2 tspChilli powder
  7. 1Heaped tbsp turmeric
  8. Thumb sized piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  9. 420 mlsCoconut Cream
  10. 350 mlsBeef Stock
  11. 2 tspCumin
  12. 2 tbspSoy Sauce
  13. 2Kaffir lime leaves
  14. 3Heaped tsp brown sugar
  15. 3 tspMinced lemongrass paste
  16. 3 tbspLime juice
  17. Salt and Pepper to season

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Trim the beef of any large bits of fat and then slice into 1/2 thick strips.

  2. 2

    Put the oil in a heavy-bottomed fry pan on a mid heat.

  3. 3

    Put in the onion, garlic, chillies, ginger, chilli powder and turmeric and cook it down for about 5 minutes

  4. 4

    Put in a food processor (or if you don't have one, a large pestle and mortar - even a large heavy bowl at a stretch) and add 60ml of the coconut cream. Let it sit and cool before blitzing or mashing to a paste.

  5. 5

    Put the paste back into the hot fry pan and put the beef in it along with the remaining coconut cream and the rest of the ingredients. Stir it until all combined well.

  6. 6

    Simmer for around 50-60 minutes on a LOW heat, stirring every 10 minutes or so. DO NOT COVER AS YOU WANT THE LIQUID TO EVAPORATE ALMOST COMPLETELY. It should still be tender and juicy at the end but Rendang is not a wet curry. Keep an eye on it as it gets towards the end of cooking as the Sweetness in some of the ingredients will cause it to stick and burn quickly.

  7. 7

    When cooked, stir it around and then place over cooked rice and I like some Pak Choy with it. When dished, season with salt and pepper and squeeze over the lime juice

  8. 8

    Enjoy!!! 😊

I was born at a very young age in London, England but came to my tiny piece of santuary in the Pacific when I was barely walking.Self taught myself ethnic cooking such as Indian, Moroccan and Thai and found a love of baking, especially French inspired desserts.I cook for friends and...well...anyone that wants to eat really lol.I work day in-day out with people that have committed serious crimes and cooking helps me refocus my energies when I've had a rough day.Cooking is my 'happy place'.......I find my zen when I'm pulling together a dish.I love the outdoors, swimming in the ocean and lakes over here, I'm a keen photographer, paint abstracts when the mood grips me and I'm a multiple papercut survivor!My mantra...'If you want what you've never had...you have to do what you've never done'
