This is Beef Rendang the way it's meant to be - a rich, dry-style curry that's deeply spiced, slow-cooked, and absolutely packed with flavour. A staple in Malaysia eaten anytime from breakfast through to supper and celebrations, and often served as part of Malaysia's national dish, Nasi Lemak. This version has been given the official seal of approval from my Malaysian wife, staying true to its roots. Chunks of beef are simmered for hours in coconut milk with lemongrass, galangal, kerisik (toasted coconut) and spices, then slowly cooked down until the sauce reduces and clings to every bite. What you’re left with is a dry-style curry that’s rich, complex, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Serve with rice and enjoy the depth of flavour that only comes from proper slow cooking.
