About the recipe

Rendang is a wonderfully perfumed, thick, spiced stew from Indonesia and is often touted as one of the tastiest foods in the world. It normally takes hours of stirring and vigilant care, but of course using leftover brisket means it can be made in a reasonably short time, with equally tender, beautiful results.
