Gather @beef chuck{1.2%kg}, @makrut lime leaf{6%leaf}, @shallot{8}, @dried red chili{10} and @ground turmeric{1%tsp}.

Blend shallots, @garlic{6%clove}, @galangal{40%g}, chilies and turmeric into a paste.

Combine beef, paste, @coconut milk{800%ml}, @lemongrass{3%stalk} and lime leaves in a wide pot; simmer uncovered.

Stir occasionally for the first 2 hours as it reduces from soup to stew. ~{2%hours}

Now stir constantly as it darkens from stew to dry rendang — the oil separates and fries the beef. ~{1%hours}

Rest before serving — rendang improves by the day.
