Hi Peeps!
Have you heard Rendang? The world known Indonesian beef stew. It is my husband’s most favorite Indonesian dish. I think he married me due to Rendang and Durian ?
Well, today am sharing Javanese style Rendang, so it is sweet and a tad spicy. Original Rendang is from Sumatra and it is always on the spicy side, but the Javanese version tends to be not spicy but sweet. I explained it on the video too ?
Here are the ingredients should you want to try as well ?
- 1.3 kg round roast
- 1 small onion
- 4 garlic
- 3-4 candlenut
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika powder
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/8 – 1 tsp cayenne powder
- 3 dries bird eye chilies (fresh are fine as well)
- 1 lemongrass
- 1 thumb ginger
- 2 daun salam (Indonesian bay leaf)

- 1/2 – 1 tbsp Vegeta powder
- 1 tbsp mushroom granules
- 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
