Beef Rendang
This post is in: Beef, Recipes for Mum
I learnt this recipe from my step mother. MashaAllah she is the best cook! I just love the thought of going to her house and there would always be food on the table and in the freezer (as spares for me to take home lol).
I’ve made beef rendang on many occasions but always failed. However, this recipe is easy although there are many steps involved. My first attempt was kinda OK, at least it tasted better than the other rendangs I made. InshaAllah with practice, I hope to master this recipe!
