About

Rendang is the culinary pride that often wowed many a world class culinary observer. This caramelized beef curry is known in Indonesia as Rendang Padang. You can create three different dishes with one recipe by varying the cooking time. The first stage is kare (beef curry), cook a bit longer then it became kalio (brown curry), and when it reached the caramelized phase, you get rendang.
