Beef 'Rendang'
with Coconut Rice
We’ve looked to Indonesia for inspiration for this quick and easy curry dish. On the table in just 20 minutes but still bursting with flavour, tender strips of beef are fried with an aromatic thai garnish and rendang paste, before being gently simmered in coconut milk. Served with fluffy coconut basmati rice, the green beans and coriander perfectly round off the dish with a splash of colour.
