Beef Rendang

Dinner at Mum and Dad's today and she treats my aunt, uncle, sister and I to her excellent Beef Rendang, which is a Malaysian beef curry.

Mum had already par boiled beef shin and brisket for an hour before I arrived and reserved the stock

Next she adds chopped garlic, shallots, sweet pepper and chilli...

...then she adds seasoning (can't remember what this is!)...

...and a few spoons of chilli sauce...

...before the all the ingredients are mixed together...

...and a few tablespoons of dark soy sauce are stirred in.

In a separate pan sliced garlic & shallots are fried with cinnamon...

...before adding the beef and stirring...

...and adding the reserved stock...

...with a couple of tablespoons of vinegar...

...and top up with water. From now the dish is treated as a stew.

A couple of hours later, the dish is served up.

This is one of Mum's classic dishes, but it could have done with a few more chillis for my taste; excellent nonetheless.
