  • 3 star anise
  • 3 cloves
  • 3 cardamon pods
  • 600g braising steak, cubed
  • 400ml tin full fat coconut milk
  • 2 tsp. tamarind paste

Preparation

  1. Heat the oil, on a low – medium heat, in the cooking pan of the Cook In.
  2. Add the Rendang curry paste, cinnamon, garlic, star anise, cloves and cardamon and stir fry, until fragrant.
  3. Turn the heat to medium, before adding the beef and cooking for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the meat starts to brown.
  4. Add the coconut milk, tamarind paste and water and continue to cook for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add the lemongrass, lime leaves, toasted coconut and sugar and stir everything together. Turn the heat down to low and slowly simmer for 1 ½ hours, with the lid on.
