Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions, typically using a 1:2 rice to water ratio, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Spice Paste

    In a blender or food processor, combine shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder, and a little coconut milk. Blend until smooth to create a spice paste.

  3. 3

    Cook the Beef

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté for about 5 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add Beef and Coconut Milk

    Add the beef cubes to the pot, stirring to coat with the spice paste. Pour in the coconut milk, add lemongrass, cinnamon stick, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce is thickened.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the lemongrass and cinnamon stick. Serve the beef rendang over the cooked rice. Enjoy!
