Baz'S Beef Rendang

• 1 kg beef
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 medium brown onion, chopped
• Ingredients 1
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 red chilies, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon tamarind paste
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 5 cloves, ground
• 1 teaspoon shrimp paste
• 1 tablespoon lemongrass, finely chopped
• 2 star anise, ground (optional)
• 2 tablespoons water (as required)
• Ingredients 2
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 8 curry leaves, torn
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 4 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 (285 ml) can coconut cream

1. Heat oil in wok, or large pan.
2. Add onions and cook over medium heat until soft (about 5 minutes should do).
3. Add "Ingredients 1" and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring to prevent from sticking. Add a little of the water to make a paste.
4. Add the meat and stir until it is browned.
5. Add "Ingredients 2", stir and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally.
6. Lower heat and simmer covered until meat is tender (Remove lid for a while and reduce the sauce until thicker, if you wish, towards the end of cooking time.) Alternatively, transfer to a slow cooker and cook for hours and hours.
7. Serve over jasmine or coconut rice.
