Discover the authentic taste of Indonesia with the spice paste at Rendang

Rendang is one of the most famous dishes of Indonesian cuisine. This dish originates from the Minangkabau region of Sumatra, where it is considered a festive dish and is prepared on special occasions.

It is slow braised beef in a thick and aromatic sauce of coconut milk and spices, which is cooked until it has an almost dry, caramelized texture.

Traditionally, vegetables are not added to Rendang. It's a dish that focuses on slow braised beef in a rich and flavorful sauce, the sauce often reduced to a thick consistency that caramelizes the meat, which is the main element of the dish.

Why aren't vegetables added?

• Rendang is traditionally part of a larger meal where multiple dishes are served (for example, with rice, pickled vegetables or other side dishes). Fromthe venison is usually served separately.
• Adding vegetables could affect the texture and flavour of the sauce, which is a distinctive part of the dish. The main characteristic of Rendang is its rich, aromatic sauce, which slowly reduces and caramelises the meat, which could be disturbed by the presence of vegetables.

What makes Rendang so special?

• A rich blend of spices such as lemongrass, galangal, garlic, shallots, ginger and chilli create an intense and exotic flavour that is characteristic of many South Asian dishes.
• The creamy coconut milk sauce adds a smoothness to the dish, while at the same time an intense flavour that blends perfectly with the spices and meat.
• The slow-braised meat in this sauce is tender enough to literally melt on the tongue, a key element in authentic rendang recipes.

With our Rendang spice paste, you can easily prepare this iconic dish at home and enjoy the authentic taste of Indonesia.

Recipe for Beef Rendang (4 servings)

Raw materials

• 500 g of beef (ideally leg or brisket, cut into larger cubes)
• 2 tablespoons Rendang seasoning paste
• 400 ml coconut milk
• 1 lemon grass (crushed) or 1 teaspoon dried lemongrass
• 2 tablespoons coconut or avocado oil
• Salt to taste

Preparation instructions

• Soak dried lemongrass in hot water for 10-15 minutes to re-hydrate and release its aroma. Keep the soaking liquid and add it to the dish to enhance the flavour.
• Heat the oil in a pan or pot and add the Rendang seasoning paste. Sauté over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until tender.
• Add the beef cubes and coat them thoroughly in the paste. Allow the meat to roast for another 5 minutes to allow it to sear.
• Pour the coconut milk over the mixture and add fresh lemongrass or prepared dried lemongrass (including the soaking liquid). Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to minimum.
• Simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours until the sauce reduces to a thick consistency and the meat is tender. Stir continuously to prevent the mixture from burning.
• Add salt as needed.

Slow cooker alternative

If you have a slow cooker, you can proceed as follows:

• Fry the spice paste and meat in the pan according to steps 2 and 3.
• Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker, add the coconut milk and lemongrass (fresh or dried).
• Set the pot on low and cook for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours.
• Towards the end, remove the lid to reduce and thicken the sauce.

Administration

Rendang is traditionally served with jasmine or basmati rice. For an authentic experience, you can complement it with pickled vegetables(acar) or shrimp crackers(krupuk). Papadum(papad) can be a great accompaniment to Rendang, as their crunchy texture and subtle spiciness perfectly complement the rich and aromatic sauce. Papadums provide a textural contrast to the tender, slow-braised meat and creamy sauce, giving the dish a nice balance.

Indonesian cuisine: the diversity of flavours and traditions

Indonesian cuisine is unique in its diversity, reflecting the country's rich culture and natural resources. It is characterised by a balanced combination of flavours - sweet, salty, sour, bitter and spicy - that create an unforgettable experience. Key ingredients include coconut milk, turmeric, ginger, lemongrass, chillies and tamarind. These ingredients are the basis of iconic dishes such as Nasi Goreng (fried rice), Satay (meat skewers with peanut sauce), Rendang (slow-cooked beef in coconut sauce) or Gado-Gado (vegetable salad with peanut sauce). Rice is an essential part of most dishes and is often combined with meat, vegetables or spicy sauces.

The serving and dining methods are also interesting. The dishes are traditionally served on banana leaves, which add a delicate flavour to the food and are an eco-friendly alternative. The food is often shared in the middle of the table, where several smaller bowls of different dishes are served, from which each person takes their pick. In many areas, eating with the hands is still considered a natural and culturally rooted way of eating. This approach emphasises the importance of dining together and connecting with food.

Indonesian cuisine is not only about flavours, but also about traditions and stories that have been passed down from generation to generation. Each dish reflects the influences of different regions and cultures, making this cuisine unique and rich. It is a cuisine that celebrates community, sharing and respect for natural resources, making it one of the strongest symbols of Indonesian identity.
