New Year, New Resolution and new recipes too! I decided to try new recipe every week. I make this delicious Rendang Pedas Daging/Spicy Beef Rendang. Totally love it. Love the spicy and the flavors of turmeric leaves.

Ingredients: 

4 tbsp cooking oil

2 medium red onion, whisk it

500 g sirloin meat, cut into cubes

2 tbsp tamarind juice

2 pieces turmeric leaves

sugar and salt to taste

Making the paste:

8 medium onion

5 cloves of garlic

1 inch ginger

1/2 inch galangal

10 pcs dried red chilis

3 pieces lemongrass

1/2 inch shrimp paste/ belacan

Method: 

Mix all the paste ingredients together in the blender and blend it well.

Heat the cooking oil in the pan. Add the onion and paste on low fire heat for 10 mins. keep stirring constantly.

Slowly add the meat, tamarind juice, salt and sugar and continue stirring. Gently add the turmeric leaves. Close it with a lid to make sure the meat turns tender and juicy and the gravy is thicker. 

Once the meat is cook perfectly, remove from the fire and serve with warm rice.
