Malaysian Beef Rendang

"This dish has a unique flavour, and by varying the amounts of sugar and chilies a whole range of effects can be produced. Serve over rice."

Prep Time : 30 min
Cook Time : 1 hr 30 min
Ready In : 2 hrs

INGREDIENTS

3/8 pound shallots
3 cloves garlic
15 dried red chile peppers
5 slices fresh ginger root
5 lemon grass, chopped
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 pinch whole nutmeg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/4 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
2 cups shredded coconut
5 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 2/3 cups coconut milk
7/8 cup water
salt to taste

DIRECTIONS

Heat the coconut in a dry wok, stirring continuously until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Using a blender or a food processor, blend the shallots, garlic, chilies, ginger, and lemon grass to a thick paste.
Grind the coriander, fennel, cumin and nutmeg.
Using the wok, fry the shallot paste in a little oil for a few minutes. Add the ground coriander, fennel, cumin and nutmeg; cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring continuously. Add beef; cook over a medium heat for a further 3 to 4 minutes, or until meat is browned.
Stir in sugar, coconut, cloves, cinnamon stick, coconut milk , and water. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer until most of the liquid has gone and the meat is tender (about 1 hour). Season with salt to taste.

bongingtugarang...

Lemongrass is not uncommon in gardens over here... many people who like to use it for cooking grow it.
I think Lemongrass was probably introduced to Australia many years ago when asian people started to migrate to Australia...
I have a large garden with a few Asian spices/herbs growing, also lots of fruit trees...

Maybe I will make a post showing some pictures of my garden... perhaps in the Landscaping section would be best...
