Originating in West Sumatra, Rendang has been slow-cooked for generations, a dish that tells the story of family, tradition, and celebration. Tender beef simmers in creamy coconut milk and a fragrant blend of lemongrass, galangal, with hints of chili and star anise. Every bite is deeply flavorful and comforting, perfect with steamed rice. Boembloc brings the heart of Sumatra straight to your kitchen.

500-700 g beef
200 ml coconut milk
350 ml water

3. Stir in 150 ml coconut milk, lower heat, cover and bring to a gentle boil.
