This is one great dish for the Hari Raya season!
Beef Rendang is probably one of the most iconic Asian meat dishes, and worthy of that claim. Our mix of freshly made rempah and toasted coconut adds a load of flavour to the beef.
What this dish needs is TIME. When you slowly braise the meat until it’s tender, the result is beef that has absorbed the spices, waiting to be finished off with chopped kaffir lime leaves! We replaced half of the coconut milk with low fat milk for less sinful, yet equally yummy taste! You can also fry the rempah in coconut oil too, instead of regular cooking oil.
