Method
1Dice beef chuck into 4cm cubes. Brown in batches in a large heavy pot over high heat — don't rush this, good colour on the beef adds depth. Set aside.
2Dice onions and cook in the same pot until softened, about 5 minutes.
3Add rendang paste and stir to coat everything. Cook for 5 minutes until fragrant.
4Return beef to the pot. Pour in coconut milk, stir and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes.
5Cover with a lid and cook in the oven at 160°C (140°C fan) for 3 hours until the beef is fall-apart tender.
🍳 Meal Prep Tips
✓ Divide into 10 containers once cooled. Keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days.
✓ Freezes perfectly ... portion into ziplock bags flat for easy stacking. Good for 3 months.
✓ Add 100g cooked white rice to each container when serving. Macros above already include this.
✓ Tastes even better the next day once the spices have had time to develop.
