RENDANG PADANG - INDONESIAN BEEF CURRY (SLOW COOKER)

Rendang Padang - Indonesian Beef Curry (Slow Cooker) image

This is a very close representation to what I have had in restaurants. But beware because it can be quite spicy depending on the heat of the chiles you use. The beef should be almost falling apart. Serve with steamed white rice and Achar. From Secrets of Slow Cooking.

Ingredients

3 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-2-inch pieces (I use a chuck roast & cut it up)

1/2 small onion, chopped
2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 stalk lemongrass, tough outer layers removed, tender insides finely sliced
1/3 cup tamarind paste (combined with 1/3 cup warm water)

1/2 teaspoon chili powder (ground chiles, not the chili pepper spice blend)
1 (15 ounce) can light coconut milk
2 teaspoons sugar
salt

Steps:

Put the beef in the slow cooker.
In a blender or food processor combine the chilis, onion, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, tamarind paste, 1 cup warm water, and the spices.
Puree until smooth, then pour over the beef.
Stir in the coconut milk and cook, covered, on the low setting for 5-6 hours.
The beef will be tender and the sauce will be dark brown.
Ladle most of the sauce into a small saucepan and cook over medium high heat to reduce until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
Pour the sauce back in the cooker and cook on high for 30 minutes to 1 hour longer.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef. The best cuts of beef for rendang are those that are tough and have a lot of connective tissue, such as chuck roast, brisket, or short ribs. These cuts will become tender and flavorful after long, slow cooking.
Use a good quality rendang paste. Rendang paste is the key to achieving the rich, complex flavor of rendang. Look for a paste that is made with fresh, authentic ingredients and that has a deep, reddish-brown color.
Cook the rendang slowly and low. Rendang is a dish that takes time to cook. The longer you cook it, the more tender and flavorful it will be. Cook the rendang for at least 3 hours, or up to 8 hours if you have the time.
Don't be afraid to adjust the spiciness of the rendang. Rendang is traditionally a spicy dish, but you can adjust the amount of chili peppers in the recipe to suit your own taste.
Serve the rendang with rice or ketupat (steamed rice cakes). Rendang is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for serving with rice or ketupat. You can also serve it with vegetables, such as steamed broccoli or bok choy.
