In a dream: I transported myself someplace on the Mediterranean shore on a gorgeous Sunday. I can't help but stare out at the placid Mediterranean waters. I look around and see happy diners, both locals and visitors.
Inspired by my dream, I decided to make a simple dish—no need for a fussy marinade. A good cut of beef, flavored modestly with garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper, and finished with an easy red wine pan sauce. Enjoying this with some crisp cucumber, juicy tomatoes, and creamy Greek vinaigrette dressing over some steaming white rice.

A delectable dish from the Minangkabau ethnic group in Indonesia, beef rendang is indigenous to the country. The dish was introduced to Malaysia during the Melaka Sultanate era, when Minangkabau settlers from Sumatra moved to the southern region of the Malay peninsula.
Rendang is a curry made using slow-simmered beef that lets the flavors seep into the flesh. A recipe that takes hours to prepare on the burner. Depending on the desired result, the dish must be cooked in coconut milk with all of the spices for a specified length of time. The original recipe needs to be cooked for two to three hours minimum until dry. To ensure you have leftovers, I suggest that you make a big portion. Over the next day, the flavors and aroma intensify. Perfect with a bowl of steam rice and your veggies of choice.
FYI: Rendang, creating it from scratch may seem difficult or time-consuming to someone who works. You can take a shortcut by using Rendang paste. This will shorten the preparation period.
