It was my first time attempting rendang and as I mentioned before the proportions are for a much larger crowd but I scaled it down and it turned out very well. The meat is tender and very rich in flavour.
"A rendang for special occasions"
Ingredients
6 kg Beef
3 Litres coconut milk
½ Cup oil
10 Stalks lemongrass, bruised
A palm sized galangal, bruised
5 Cups water
3 Turmeric leaves, sliced thinly
5 Kaffir lime leaves, crushed
2 Cups chilli paste
4 Tbs kerisik
3 tsp salt
3 Tbs sugar
2 Tbs sweet soy sauce
To Blend:
500gm Shallots
1 ½ Inches Ginger
6 Cloves garlic
Serves...
20
This makes for a very rich and hearty rendang
It can be difficult to scale down the recipe for a smaller crowd
Method
Heat oil in a large heavy non-stick wok. Sautee the blended ingredients till an aroma is released.
Put in the chilli paste and cook till the oil rises. Add in the beef and then the water.
Cook till the beef stock dries up. Add in the coconut milk and cook further.
Put in the galangal and lemongrass. When the coconut milk has concentrated and thickened put in the kerisik.
Sprinkle in the turmeric leaves and kaffir lime leaves. Lastly, flavour with soy sauce, salt and sugar. Enjoy!
