Beef Rendang

This indonesian and malay dish is most aboriginal
called festive. Beef, coconut milk and lots of spices are stewed together,
sometimes a few hours, after which the rendang is served (of course, along with rice and a bunch of snacks)
to a wedding table or during big celebrations. Although in modern society it may well
be prepared and just for a Sunday family dinner. If you have a slow cooker at home
(slowcooker), preparing a rendang will be even easier.

For meat, remove all films and excess fat, cut the flesh into pieces the size of an average fist.
Step 3
Peel onions, chili, garlic, ginger and galangal. Cut into small pieces. At lemongrass, remove the top dried leaves and top 2 cm long, cut the stems into small pieces as well.

Put lemongrass in a blender or food processor, pour 1 cup of cold drinking water. Beat until smooth.
