They Said This Was the Best Beef in the World. They Were Right.
One bite of Beef Rendang and you’ll see why it’s one of the world’s most beloved beef dishes. This Indonesian comfort food slowly braises beef in a deeply satisfying and complex sauce flavored with bold spices, creamy coconut milk, and a touch of heat. It may not be the quickest meal around, but I promise the flavor-rich bites are well worth your time and patience.
