I will be perfectly honest. I used to be terrified, as silly as that sounds, of baking bread at home. I thought it was this super long, tedious difficult process like sourdough. Got over that fear and dived right into the deep end. Now it's like an addiction and I promise it's super easy to do and tastes 1,000 times better than store bought. Plus, you can make so many different things with just a single ball of this dough! I wish you well on your bread making adventures!

Rendang is a rich, flavorful Indonesian dish known for its tender beef cooked in a mixture of spices and coconut milk. It’s a beloved dish in Indonesia and around the world. Below is a friendly step-by-step guide to help you prepare this delicious meal right in your kitchen! Steps to Cook Authentic Indonesian Rendang: 1. Prepare the Ingredients Begin by preparing your ingredients. Slice the beef into bite-sized cubes. Peel and chop the shallots, garlic, and ginger. Cut the lemongrass into pieces and bruise it with the back of your knife to release its flavor. Slice the kaffir lime leaves and set all ingredients aside. 2. Blend the Spices In a blender or food processor, combine the shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, chili peppers, and a small amount of water to create a smooth spice paste. This paste will form the base of your rendang sauce. 3. Cook the Spice Paste In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the spice paste to the pot and sauté it for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes fragrant and slightly caramelized. 4. Add the Beef Once the spice paste is ready, add the beef cubes to the pot. Stir well, ensuring each piece of beef is coated with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned on all sides. 5. Add the Coconut Milk and Aromatics Pour in the coconut milk and add the lemongrass, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and kaffir lime leaves. Stir everything together, ensuring the beef is submerged in the liquid. Add a pinch of salt and the tamarind paste for an extra layer of flavor. 6. Simmer the Rendang Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook, uncovered, for about 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom. The beef will become tender, and the sauce will gradually thicken as it reduces. 7. Adjust Seasoning After a few hours, taste the rendang and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, sugar, or tamarind for a balanced flavor. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water or more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency. 8. Final Reduction Continue simmering until the sauce has thickened into a rich, dark brown color and the oil begins to separate from the sauce. This indicates that the rendang is ready. The beef should be tender and the flavors should be deep and well-integrated. 9. Serve and Enjoy Remove the rendang from the heat and discard the lemongrass, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pods. Serve your rendang with steamed rice or traditional Indonesian side dishes. Enjoy this rich, flavorful dish!
