• Fry the paste for about 2-3 minutes and then put it into your slow cooker or Dutch oven.
• Then take the steak pieces and fry them in the oil in batches until brown on all sides.
• When the steak is browned add it to whichever cooking vessel you are using.
• Then cover the steak and fried paste with the coconut milk. Then add the ginger, sugar, coconut, curry leaves and Rendang curry paste.
• Stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
• Then cook at 160C for about 3-4 hours, or until the meat has become tender and is beginning to fall apart.

Steps:

• Chop the spice paste ingredients and then blend it in a food processor until fine.
• Heat the oil in a stew pot, add the spice paste, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, and cardamom and stir-fry until aromatic. Add the beef and the pounded lemongrass and stir for 1 minute. Add the coconut milk, tamarind juice, water, and simmer on medium heat, stirring frequently until the meat is almost cooked. Add the kaffir lime leaves, kerisik (toasted coconut), sugar or palm sugar, stirring to blend well with the meat.
• Lower the heat to low, cover the lid, and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is really tender and the gravy has dried up. Add more salt and sugar to taste. Serve immediately with steamed rice and save some for overnight.
