Method
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan or wok over a low heat. Add the onion and cook gently for 10-12 mins, until softened.
- Meanwhile, rinse the rice well in a sieve, tip into a mixing bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside, for now.
- Once the onion has softened, stir in the ginger, garlic, lemongrass, cinnamon, lime leaves, rendang paste and potatoes. Stir-fry for 2-3 mins until the mixture is fragrant and the curry paste has deepened in colour.
- Add the roast beef to the pan, stir briefly, then add the coconut milk. Bring the mixture to the boil and simmer gently for 20 mins, adding the beans for the last 5 mins, until the mixture has reduced and thickened slightly.
- Meanwhile, rinse the rice again in the sieve, until the water runs clear. Tip into a medium, heavy-based saucepan and cover with 400ml cold water. Add a pinch of salt, cover with a lid and place over a medium heat. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down to its lowest setting and steam for 10-12 mins, until tender. Season the rendang to taste and discard the cinnamon stick. Divide the rice and rendang between bowls, sprinkle with the coriander and serve with slices of cucumber.
