Beef Rendang for Chris

Recipe

- 10 dried small chillies deseeded (leave them in if you like it spicy)
- 4 shallots
- 2 lemongrass sticks
- 5 garlic cloves
- 5 Candlenut
- Pinky-size peace turmeric
- Thump-size piece ginger
- Thumb-size piece galangal
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp grapeseed oil (or peanut)
- 1.2kg stewing beef (chuck, brisket, short rib or shank work well)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 star anise
- 4 cloves
- 4 cardamom pods
- 4 kaffir lime leaves
- 400ml coconut milk
- 1 tbsp palm sugar
- 1 tbsp tamarind paste
- 40g shredded coconut

method

1. In a food processor or blender (FYI if you use a blender it might taste like curry for a little while), blend the chillies, shallots, lemongrass, ginger, galangal, salt and 2 tbsp oil.
2. Dice the beef into 2cm cubes.
3. In a heavy based pot, add the rest of the oil and place onto a med-high heat. Once hot, add the curry paste and cook for 5 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add the beef to the pot and stir until the beef is covered in the paste.
5. Add the coconut milk and the rest of the dry spices and bring to a very low simmer. Cook for 1.5 hours with the lid on.
6. While this is cooking, place the coconut in a dry frypan and toast until it has a nice colour but not burnt. Place the toasted coconut into a mortar and pestle and pound it into a paste.
7. Once the beef is tender, remove the lid and add the tamarind, palm sugar and coconut paste you just made. Stir and reduce this until the curry is at the consistency you are happy with.
8. Serve with rice and enjoy!

You even made the kerisik (toasted coconut)! Massive respect chef!

[kakfafadillahe]

Terima kasih Andy for cooking dishes from Indonesia 🇮🇩 so that the native Minang people & Indonesian citizens themselves are moved by your efforts 😉

[wolverine]

Well done!! You didn’t miss the kerisik which is the roasted coconut paste! Longer you keep it in a freezer and reheat the taste gets much more delicious! It’ll be a bit dry but the taste is out of the world!!

I've been following many food YouTubers and I have concluded lately that you sir are one of the best. Your style of cooking reminds me of my dad who's also a chef

[mitchellminer]

The most memorable bite of food in my life was my first bite of rendang.
