Beef Rendang Preparation

1. Use Food Processor to puree Onion, Yellow Chili Peppers, Turmeric, Ground Red Pepper, and Galangal Root into a spice paste & set aside.

2. In a Large Heavy-bottomed Pan brown all of the Beef with spice paste, Kosher Salt & White Pepper. When all of Beef Juice has cooked down, about 10 minutes, add Coconut Milk & Lime Leaves. Simmer until Beef is tender, about 2 hours.

3. When Beef is tender & Coconut Milk is reduced, add in Sweetened Coconut Flakes & Granulated Sugar. Remove Lime Leaves.

4. Boil water for Rice. Add Rice and let boil for 3 minutes or until almost all of water is gone. Remove from heat and let stand partially covered another 2 minutes.

5. Serve Beef over Rice.

Notes

Note: The best way to find some of these ingredients is to visit a local Asian Market as they are both more cost effective and carry less available spices. However in a pinch you could substitute Red Pepper Flakes 1 1/2 to 2 Tablespoons or use ground Galangal (Sometimes called Galanga)1 to 2 Tablespoons instead of the fresh variety which resembles Ginger.However, I would not substitute Ginger for the Galangal as it would drastically alter the intended flavor of the dish.
