InstantPot Beef Rendang-a-like
I can’t bring myself to call this beef rendang, because that would be a travesty. It is however super tasty and features some of the same flavours and it quick.
As it cooks it does not look appetising, especially as the fat renders, press on, keep stirring.
You will need
- 300g of diced beef (stewing steak / braising steak)
- About 2 tablespoons of minced garlic
- About 2 tablespoons of minced ginger (I used the frozen blocks)
- A habanero chilli
- A tablespoon of fish sauce
- A tablespoon of lime juice
- A chunk of coconut cream block about the size of 3 stock cubes (I am sorry, I’ve no idea what weight)
- 3 or spring onions, slices and green separated from white
- A tablespoon of oil
Do
- Brown the beef in the oil on saute mode for about 10 minutes
- Add the rest of the ingredients except the green spring onion
- Pressure cook for 20 minutes and let it cool so you don’t loose the liquid
- Once it’s cool,open the lid, give it all a vigorous stir and then saute again until it reaches a coating consistency
- Pile on top of rice, with the sliced green onion on the top
Results
Rich, savoury, meat should hold it’s shape. It’s not as dark as a real thing, but then it’s 30 minutes, not 4 hours.
