Instructions
Prepare the spice paste (boemboe):
- Combine shallots, garlic, ginger, chopped lemongrass (white part), canle nuts, chili peppers, ground coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, galangal (laos), and salt in a food processor. Blend until a smooth paste forms. Add 2 tablespoons of water if the paste gets too dry.
Cook the beef:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté for about 3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add beef pieces, coconut milk, and creamed coconut. Stir until the creamed coconut dissolves.
- Bruise the remaining lemongrass stalks and add them to the pot.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let it stew for approximately 3 hours, stirring every 20-30 minutes to prevent sticking.
- After 3 hours, remove the lid and continue to cook for another 25-30 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and the beef to caramelize. Stir gently to keep the beef pieces intact. Remove lemongrass stalks before serving.
- Alternatively - transfer the stew to a slowcooker and cook on low for 5 hours.
- In a dry skillet over low heat, toast grated coconut, stirring frequently, until light golden brown. Let it cool.
Prepare the pickled shallots (atjar):
- In a small saucepan, bring apple cider vinegar, ground turmeric, salt, and honey to a boil. Add sliced shallots, then remove from heat and let it cool.
Serve:
- Mix half of the toasted coconut and lime zest into the rendang.
- Garnish with the remaining toasted coconut.
- Serve with pickled shallots and lime wedges on the side.
