Super good recipe I always watched it
Inimh kek rendang jawa😅
dried coconut ????
Delicious food 😋 😍
Man, this looks delicious! Great work as always Chef John!
it looks very delicious, but I think it's better if the coconut milk is boiled until it almost becomes oil so that the meat doesn't disintegrate and it's better to crush the lemongrass or crush it at the same time so that the taste is more pronounced, but that's already good. I agree with your way of eating, which is eating rendang while it's still hot and accompanied by hot white rice, I think with this way of eating rendang will taste very delicious, you have learned how Indonesians eat rendang deliciously, you are very great.
I tried the oxtail rendang and it was awesome. Now I'm making this one. I have one question. How much salt with this recipe?
Have made this several times now, always great. My change is that I put maybe half the lemongrass in the food processor (sliced). One other suggestion—once the water-based liquid is starting to evaporate a great deal, instead of the absolutely constant attention it takes to stir and not burn—I throw my pan into the oven, and finish it there. It browns off without burning, though I still come and stir often.
if you add black pepper to any dish containing Turmeric, you increase the health benefits and uptake of curcumin 🙂
Ginger is not a substitute for galangal. They're both of the Zingiberaceae family, but but quite different flavours.
Lekker…
Thanks for ur cook rendang fenomenal food from local Indonesian
looks so delicious…. thank you
That looked like chili powder not chili flakes
best thing I've ever made hands down
5:28 at this full of gravy stage the dish is called Kaliyo. It is edible as long as the meat is tender. Some poeple add potato and red beans to Kaliyo. Only when you dry it all the way down is it called Rendang
"Dry" makes it sound unappealing. I would cally it Gravyless curry
Rendang is NOT curry, just because its use a lot of coconout milk?
“This is Beef Rendang …. Not Beef Rendiet!” LMAO!!! 😂😂😂😂 One of the best Chef John-isms ever!!😊
Kefir Lime leaves , are a must ,mixed in at the same time with the coconut
I much prefer the way you speak in these older videos. Tho the upward notes at the end of phrases… still odd.
Don’t freak on the coconut milk if you’ve never made this. Final product is amazing!
Good luck finding galanga root. 😂
It's not oily enough.
Third time making this, so good 😋💕✨
I went to Malaysia once. I tried beef rendang and instantly fell in love with it.
I must ask something, does the coconut milk taste a lot in this dish? ( i want to do this dish but the other people i know is picky and don´t enjoy the coconut milk. Maybe i can switch the coconut milk to something else or whats your opinion? Need some help, please!
Please eat this with your hands
renn DAAAAANGGGG
Made this for first time today. Less sauce than I'm used to. But very tasty. Gonna let it absorb over night and eat tomorrow. Can't wait.
Due to your inflection at the end of your phrases, every sentence you say sounds like you're not finished with the sentence and are about to say "but!", but you never do.
Aaaaw… Chef John disappoints for the very first time. How can this be? Where is the toasted coconut? Where are the makrut leaves?
How would you feel about remaking this one?
Extremely difficult for non englisch speakers to understand this guy. Reallly a pity. ..
I went to Bali and had this dish. It was amazing!!
Indonesian potroast can we call it? 😛 The single most amazing memory I have of being surprised by a new dish. I walked in to an Indonesian restaurant in San Francisco and said, "Well, what's good here?" And that was the recommendation.
There are many sorts of Rendang in Indonesia, But I like it super spicy and very dry! with lots of cocunut! yummm
Can I use a pressure cooker?
Sorry to have to comment again of what I have said before. I find Chef John's intonation pattern is EXCESSIVELY repetitive and distracting with its singular high-pitched accented syllable for EVERY SENTENCE followed by a lowering of his intonation contour with the loss of clarity at the end of EACH statement. A pity his vocal delivery distracts from the content.
Great recipe. I made a couple of additions that I think helped. I added a stick of cinnamon and a few kafir lime leaves to the mix while it was reducing. Came out amazing. Thanks!
Fantastic recipe! Definitely keeping this one!
Indonesians cook beef rendang with bones.
I'm making this very soon. I cheated and bought rendang paste😅
nutmeg and cardemon no noooooo
Respect. I just buy the rendang paste and use ground beef or chicken. Saves about 3 hours. Full fatty coconut milk is a must. Some people use water and that makes for some very sad rendang.
When I was living in the US i always missed Indonesian food… we are lucky to have a lot good Indonesian restaurants in holland
Looks good, but needs more sauce. I ate beef Rendang in Malaysia almost every other day during the 3 months I lived there.
