Instructions
-
1Rempah (spice paste): blend chilis + garlic + shallots + ginger in a blender until paste forms.
-
2Melt cannabis butter in a heavy pot. Sauté rempah for 5 minutes until fragrant.
-
3Stir in ground spices. Toast for another 2 minutes.
-
4Coat beef with the paste.
-
5Add coconut milk + lemongrass + galangal + kaffir lime leaves.
-
6Bring to a boil. Then simmer UNCOVERED over low heat for 2–3 hours — liquid reduces completely.
-
7Stir in kerisik (toasted coconut flakes) when the sauce is almost gone.
-
8Continue cooking until the meat caramelizes in its own coconut fat — dark brown, dry-oily.
-
9Season with palm sugar and salt. Serve over jasmine rice.
Pro Tips
- Rendang is ready when ALL liquid is gone — the meat braises in coconut fat.
- Cannabis butter in the rempah base — long braising time on low heat activates THC optimally.
- Don't skip kerisik (toasted coconut flakes) — it gives the characteristic texture.
