Rendang Daging

I promised my sister I'll put the recipe here so that she can cook rendang for her housewarming! Not to say it's the best rendang recipe, but I like the way it's written.. easy to measure... I took from mesra.net.. and adapted of course!

Ingredients:
Blend all this together!

2 onion (really big ones)
5 garlic
2 inches ginger
10 dried chillies (cili kering la tu.. with seeds removed, boiled and rinsed)
-the original recipe uses 20 dried chillies but I have starving kids to please!)
5 xtra large lemongrass (original recipe uses 10 lemongrass)
4 baskin-robin-tasting-spoon salt
1 teaspoon tumeric powder (original recipe uses 2" fresh tumeric)

Put this in the mill and process until powdery
1 teaspoon cumin seed (jintan putih)
1 teaspoon caraway (jintan manis) rasanya betul kot caraway.. ;P he he

1 kilo beef cut into 2"x2" (azly asked the butcher to do it!)

500 gm coconut milk

1 tumeric leave (thinly sliced)

Method1. Put everything except for coconut milk and tumeric leave in a wok.
2. Use low heat and wait until the beaf is tender. You don't really have to stir all the time...
3. Add in the coconut milk and continue with the low heat until all the liquid is reduced.. You should have all the spices covering the beef! Easy really!

While waiting.. feel free to dip some bread into the gravy... yummy!
