Instructions

  1. 1
    Mix rendang paste: shallots, garlic, chilies, galangal, lemongrass, and turmeric in a blender until smooth.
  2. 2
    Toast the paste in a large heavy pot without oil over medium heat for 5 minutes until dry and fragrant.
  3. 3
    Cut beef into 2-inch (5 cm) cubes, add to pot. Mix with paste and sear briefly over high heat.
  4. 4
    Add coconut milk, kaffir lime leaves, coriander, cumin, and palm sugar. Bring to a boil.
  5. 5
    Reduce to medium heat and simmer UNCOVERED. The coconut milk will reduce and caramelize—this is the process.
  6. 6
    After about 60 minutes: most of the coconut milk has reduced and oil is releasing. Lower heat slightly.
  7. 7
    Stir in shredded coconut. Simmer for another 60–90 minutes, stirring regularly—beef should end up dry-caramelized and dark brown.
  8. 8
    Taste and adjust salt. Divide into bowls. Drizzle cold cannabis coconut oil on top—coconut milk and coconut oil pair perfectly.

Pro Tips

  • Rendang is a dry curry—all the liquid evaporates. This is not a mistake; it's the goal.
  • The aroma during cooking is intensely fragrant—open windows or turn on ventilation.
  • Cannabis coconut oil and rendang are a natural pairing—both are based on coconut fat.
  • True rendang takes 3+ hours. No shortcuts. Tastes even better the next day.
