Apart from its spectacular beaches and verdant forests, the siren call of Indonesia’s fantastic food heritage is another major attraction for holidaymakers. Redolent with fragrant herbs and spices such as ginger, lemongrass, galangal, chilli, garlic, and turmeric, many of its local dishes become
firm favourites of global travellers – and are just one of the many reasons they keep returning to these beautiful islands.
Short of time? Skip ahead to the top 5 questions guests ask about Beef Rendang or go straight to our beef Rendang recipe.
The most iconic dishes of Indonesia include nasi goreng (fried rice), kalio curry and beef Rendang
– all featuring quintessential Indonesian ingredients, but each with its own distinct flavour profile.
We serve all three of these tasty dishes at Bawah Reserve and our chefs kindly agreed to share the secrets of how they prepare our most popular dishes, so you can recreate the tastes of Indonesia in the comfort of your own home.

So, here’s their recipe for what may be the most beloved Indonesian dish of all – beef Rendang.
Known to locals as rendang daging, this explosively flavourful chart-topper is a rich stew of beef
simmered with spices in creamy coconut milk until tender and succulent. Thought to have
originated in Sumatra, it is today rightly famous throughout Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.
Beef is traditionally used, but you can substitute lamb or chicken if you like. Once tasted, never
forgotten!
Remember, Indonesian food is all about the mighty sambal – a chilli-based condiment that graces every Indonesian meal. Here are the recipes for our favourite 3 Sambals.
The chefs at Bawah recommend tenderloin, but sirloin or topside are suitable too.
It is really up to you! Our recipe uses five long red chillies and four small chillies,
seeded and chopped, but you can use less than this if you want mild, creamier effect. Equally, you can add more chillies if you prefer a spicier Rendang.
Ours comes with fluffy white rice and is garnished with fried shallots and toasted coconut flakes.
We also serve our three favourite sambals with it: sambal belacan, sambal hijau and sambal matah.
As with many recipes, it depends on the ingredients you use; there are always ways to
modify the recipe to make it healthier. Here are some options
Only someone who hasn’t tried it would ask this question. When you know, you know… So, why not try our easy beef Rendang recipe now?
