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.

Method

Beef Rendang

Whizz onion and lemongrass together or chop very finely. Very gently brown in oil for 5-10 mins.

Start Timer

Add the meat, chutney, coconut cream, soy sauce, sugar, chilli, coriander & salt.

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

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.

Start Timer

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