Jenny's Kitchen Tamarind Chutney
Beef Rendang is a classic curry. Meltingly tender beef in a rich coconut sauce, which usually has a lengthy list of ingredients. You will love our cheat's version.
Feel free to swap the chuck steak for blade, cross-cut blade or even casserole beef. All of these will bring great flavour, so buy whatever is on special and make it work for you.

Start Timer
2
Add the meat, chutney, coconut cream, soy sauce, sugar, chilli, coriander & salt.
3
Bring to boil then simmer over a very low heat for 2 hours or until the meat is very soft. Keep the lid on, but with a wooden spoon in the pot to allow steam escape so the sauce reduces (it is quite a dry curry). Stir every 30 mins to prevent sticking.
Start Timer
4
While the curry cooks, toast the shredded coconut in a dry frying pan on medium heat for 2-3 mins. Stir while toasting and remove as soon as it is an even golden colour.

5
Sprinkle curry with toasted coconut and optional garnishes. Fantastic served with roti, rice or mashed potato.
