To create this delectable Beef Rendang, we'll start by preparing the beef cuts. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, making sure they're evenly sized for even cooking. Now, let's amp up the flavor by seasoning the beef with MAGGI® Magic Sarap®. This savory seasoning will take the dish to the next level! In a separate bowl, let's mix together ground rice, chopped scallion, grated turmeric, and the juice of one lime. This flavorful spice paste will infuse the beef with aromatic goodness.
Heat up a large pan or wok over medium heat and add some vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, toss in the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Let them sizzle and release their amazing aromas until they turn a beautiful golden color. Now, it's time to add our spice paste to the pan. Stir-fry it for a few minutes until it becomes fragrant and the flavors meld together.
Next, add the seasoned beef cuts to the pan, gently stirring them into the spice paste. We want to brown the beef on all sides, sealing in those delicious juices and flavors. This step is crucial for achieving tender and flavorful meat that will melt in your mouth.
Now, let's bring in the star of the show - coconut milk! Pour it into the pan, ensuring it covers the beef completely. To add an extra kick, toss in some bruised lemongrass stalks, bay leaves, and sliced red chili. Give everything a good stir, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Lower the heat to low and let our Beef Rendang simmer away for about 2-3 hours. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together and the meat to become incredibly tender. Don't forget to stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. As the dish simmers, the coconut milk will reduce and thicken, creating a rich and creamy sauce that will make your taste buds dance with joy.
While our Beef Rendang works its magic, let's prepare a delightful garnish. Heat a bit of vegetable oil in a small pan and sauté the sliced leeks until they turn crispy and golden brown. These crispy leeks will add a delightful crunch and visual appeal to our dish.
Once our Beef Rendang is cooked to perfection, remove the lemongrass stalks and bay leaves. It's time to serve this masterpiece! Arrange the Beef Rendang on a platter, garnishing it with the crispy leeks. The tender beef, aromatic spices, and creamy coconut sauce will create a symphony of flavors that will leave everyone at the table in awe.
