Beef Short Rib Rendang

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a blender, combine the ginger, garlic, onion, tamarind paste, and chili peppers. Blend until smooth to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    Rub the marinade all over the beef short ribs and let them marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator for best results.

  3. 3

    Sear the Beef

    In a large pot, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated beef short ribs on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Create the Rendang Sauce

    In the same pot, add coconut milk, palm sugar, lemongrass, lime leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Slow Braise

    Return the beef short ribs to the pot, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Let it braise for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender and the sauce thickens.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Once the beef is tender, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with tamarind roasted caulilini and crispy compressed rice.
