Ingredients
6 long dried chillies, seeds removed and torn in half (keep seeds if you like hot food)
150g Spanish onions, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
3cm knob galangal, peeled
3cm knob young ginger, peeled and sliced
1 lemongrass stalk, finely chopped
¼ cup vegetable oil
¾ turmeric leaf (rolled and finely chopped) (If unavailable, leave out)
6 lime leaves (rolled and sliced)
1 kg topside or chuck steak, cut into 3cm cubes
1 cup coconut milk
4 tbsp meat curry powder
½ cup water
1 cup desiccated coconut, dry toasted over low heat and ground
Salt to taste
1- 2 tbsp thick caramel soy sauce
Preparation
Soak chillies in hot water until soft. Place chillies, onion, garlic, galangal, ginger and lemongrass into a blender. Blend to a paste, adding a little of the soaking water from the chillies.
Heat a heavy based pan. Add oil and then fry the paste adding the turmeric and lime leaves. Mix and cook for 3-4 minutes, until fragrant.
Add steak, stir in coconut milk and then the curry powder. Add the water and the desiccated coconut (which will help thicken the rendang). Stir and simmer for 1 – 1½ hrs, or until meat is tender. Lastly, season with salt and soy sauce.
Note : Add additional water if meat is still not tender and continue to simmer. The rendang should have some sauce.
