Beef 'Keith' Rendang 'Burkinshaw'

Hey everyone!

I had a bit of a negative day due to Spurs losing, but the show must go on!

I decided to make a curry and the reason for this particular curry is because it's great for left over Lamb and Beef.

I did a blog on a Rendang Curry and I hope you try and enjoy it.

Here is what you will n9eed:

400g of Stewing Steak (cooked beef or even Lamb)

For the Paste:

2 Shallots (peeled and roughly chopped)

2 Red Chillis

4 Thai Green Chillis (Optional)

Thumb piece of Ginger (peeled and rougly chopped)

2 cloves of Garlic

2 sticks of Lemongrass

1 tbsp of Turmeric

1 tbsp of ground coriander

1 tbsp of Cumin

2 tbsp of Taramind Paste 

1 tbsp of non flavoured oil (like Rapeseed, Corn, Groundnut)

1 tbsp of Fennel (optional)

Stick of Cinnamon

400 ml of Coconut Milk

1 tbsp of Taramind paste

4 Star Anise

Soy Sauce

One Lime

Ok throw all the ingredients for the paste into a food processor and blend to a course paste.

This may need a bit of water so add a little if you need

Getting a good sized pot on the heat and brown off your beef (if using raw stewing beef otherwise leave this section out)

Throw in the Fennel, Ciinnamon and Star Anise.

Now add the Paste.

Fry this off till you smell the aromas.

Chuck in the Coconut milk and fill the tin up with cold water and pour it straight in, then bring the boil and then leave on a simmer uncovered for 2 to 3 hours, or if adding cooked beef throw this in when it's thick. Wait till it's warmed through.
Keep stirring regularly because this may stick to the bottom if using a cast iron pan like myself.

Serve with white rice and if you like steamed vegetables.

I hope you try this yourself? And let me know what you think on Twitter @martin_harte

I did this in tribute to Keith Burkinshaw and I hope this is a fitting tribute.
