The Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds beef brisket, cut into cubes
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 5 shallots, sliced
• 5 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 inch of ginger, sliced
• 2 stalks of lemongrass, bruised
• 4 to 5 pieces of buah keluak, cleaned and soaked
• 1 cup of thick coconut milk
• 2 kaffir lime leaves
• 2 tbsp kerisik (toasted grated coconut)
• 2 tsp salt
• 3 tsp sugar
• 2 tsp tamarind paste or juice
• 10 to 12 cili padi, sliced
• 1 bunga kantan, sliced (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a wok or a large saucepan, and add in the sliced shallots, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry until fragrant.
2. Next, add in the beef cubes and toss evenly for 2 to 3 minutes until the outer layer turns brown.
3. Add the bruised lemongrass, buah keluak, and lime leaves. Stir-fry for a few minutes until the beef is cooked.
4. Add in the thick coconut milk, toasted kerisik, salt, sugar, tamarind paste, sliced cili padi, and sliced bunga kantan. Stir well.
5. Lower the heat and allow the beef to simmer in the coconut milk mixture for at least two hours until the beef is tender and the sauce thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
6. Once the beef is tender, remove the lemongrass, buah keluak, and lime leaves. Discard them. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you may add more sugar to balance the spice level.
7. Serve hot with rice, and your rendang daging che nom is ready to be savored!
