Beef Rendang

Beef Rendang is the national dish of Indonesia. I’ve already blogged my recipe for Rendang many years ago. Back then, I didn’t think it made sense to prepare it sous vide, as an important part of making Rendang is reducing and browning, which does not happen in sous vide cooking. However, since then I have learned a lot about hybrid approaches, where the sauce is reduced separately from the meat, which is browned briefly and then cooked sous vide with the sauce that has already been reduced
