Name of Recipe: Easy beef rendang
Number of People: 2-3
Ingredients:
• 500 g stewing beef like blade or chuck, diced
• 2 tablespoons tamarind paste (I reconstituted mine from dried tamarind)
• Pinch of sugar
• 1 stem lemongrass, chopped roughly into pieces
• 3 shallots, peeled
• 20 g fresh galangal, sliced
• Small red chillis (I used 2)
• Whole dried chillis (I used 4)
• 50 g vegetable oil
• 3 kaffir lime leaves
• 250 g coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
• Black pepper and salt
Preparation:
1. Marinade beef in tamarind paste and sugar for several hours (overnight is ideal).
2. Add lemongrass, shallots, chillis and half the galangal to TM bowl. Chop for 5 seconds on Speed 7.
3. Add vegetable oil to TM bowl and cook for 5 minutes at 100 ◦C, speed 1.
4. Add beef (including marinade), lime leaves, coconut milk, dark soy sauce and the remaining galangal to TM bowl. Cook for 1 hour at 100 ◦C, reverse speed ^^.
5. Season to taste and serve hot with steamed jasmine rice. Would be nice with cucumbers and hard boiled eggs.
Tips/Hints:
Adjust the amount of chillis to suit your taste.

Gert - I marinated it in a reconstituted Tamarind Paste. About 40 gms and about 2 tablespoons of waters so it was mushy . I smeared it on the steak and left it in the fridge overnight. I used Thai seasoning from Gourmet Garden (in a tube) and then I followed the recipe except I used 6 dried birds eye chillies and one dried long red chilli. Did the chop and then added a squeeze of this Thai stuff. Put the oil in then cooked it as per.
I cut the beef into big chunks after removing some but not all the fat.
I tossed the whole can of coconut milk in because " what are you gunna do with 150 mils of leftover?"
Away she went with the lid off. The sauce was reduced nicely.
Absolutely yummy. 5/5 for me and it was NOT hot but more zesty lime fresh flavour.
I realised that it did change the flavour from Rendangish to something else but no matter.
I loved the flavours so much I did not rinse the bowl before cooking the rice in it so the rice is dirty looking.
Easy peasy and good for a winter meal except it is 27oC here today.

How would you describe the heat of this recipe pennywise - low, medium or hot?
-
Sounds very nice Pennywise. Thank you
-
With the amount of chilli I used, I found it to be medium. The original recipe actually specified 40 g of dried chillis, but I thought that would make it inedible for me!
-
Phew, that would set you pn fire. Thanks for the recipe I'll try it on a cool day.

Thanks pennywise, I like your quantities better :D :D

I have a big hunk of rump, quite thick and luckily it weighed 525 gms. Perfect.

In the morning while gathering my ingredients I realised I had forgotten the lemon grass even though I had gone to the store deliberately to buy just that. I thought oh bugger as DH had taken the car for the morning. In the fridge I found this. Out of date but not too much and it had never been opened. I bought it as it was a two fer or some such. Never used it before and no idea but it did have lemon grass in it so I thought....perfect.

Gert, what a lovely review. It is the sort of thing I occasionally do and can't remember what I did to reproduce it.

Might try this soon sounds yummy

Yvette remember I changed the whole thing by adding the Thai paste stuff.
