because mexican food can be elevated, and it can also be street food. it has so many faces and flavors that not only one version of your abuelitas cocina is true, from north to south, there is so much richness and variety that is hard for one single mexican to even know the complexity and the full variety of it. Every corner of mexico is capable of its own version of mole, barbacoa, or tacos and its so beautiful to experience all of it without judgement and with openness to appreciate. this post is to showcase some of the modern mexican concept restaurants that I am so happy to see thrive in a place like Denver. That for sooo many years you could not find a vast or true representation of all that is Mexican cuisine can be. I am also a fan of the aesthetics and the experience bc I am also *just a girl* so these are honestly a fave for date nights, girls night, or a celebratory dinner spot.

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!
