Rendang was originally invented as a way of preserving meat in the tropical climate of West Sumatra, Indonesia. In this dry version of the dish the beef is cooked in coconut milk until all the liquid evaporates and it starts to caramelise, resulting in a sweet and spicy curry containing incredibly tender meat.

It didn't turn out as dry as forecast and served it with Courgette Kadhi (Legend Veg P144). Went down a treat. I had hoped there would be leftovers for tomorrow BUT NO CHANCE
Absolutely delicious! Straightforward instructions that were easy to follow.

This is my favourite dish so far! Full of flavour and richness. Simply delicious.
Hooray- it's always great to discover a new favourite dish! Thanks for sharing and happy spicing!
Cooked with sweet potato rather than beef and served with couscous - it was absolutely delicious! Really rich and sweet and sticky, will definitely be having again.
What a great idea, delicious! Happy spicing!
Oh my goodness! This has got to be one of the most delicious things I’ve ever cooked!!! Love love love and then love some more!!
That's what we love to hear! We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed this lovely One Pot Wonder. Happy spicing!
This was delicious. Certainly sweet and flavoursome. One of my favorites
Nice job, Stephanie, this looks great. We love a tender, caramelised Rendang too - delicious!
This was super tasty. Great intense savoury flavour. Thanks Spicery
This looks like a great, authentic Rendang - good job Robin! We're so glad you loved the delicious, slow-cooked flavours. Happy spicing!
Used 2 packets and loads of beef. Enough to feed the 5,000 but it will all go as it tastes so great. cooked it for over 3 hours and the beef just melts away.
Rendang is a long cook, but totally worth it when you get that deliciously tender, melting beef - great job with this one!
