Rendang is a dish originating in Indonesia. I recently discovered this and was amazed by the flavors made from such fresh and aromatic ingredients. You can make this with other meats or veggies, but slow cooking the beef makes it so tender. Seriously the beef falls apart and totally melts in your mouth!

While this may not be the most authentic version of this recipe, it still captures all of the flavors the traditional dish will give you. It has similar ingredients and flavors as Thai curries do, so if you like them then definitely give this a try!
