Blend the onion, garlic, ginger, galangal, chilies, turmeric, and coriander into a paste.
Fry the spice paste in a wide pot for 5 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the beef and turn for 8 minutes, until all sides take color.
Add the coconut milk, bruised lemongrass, sugar, and salt.
Lower the heat and cook slowly for 90 minutes.
Uncover and reduce for 60 minutes more, stirring until the sauce thickens.
Remove the lemongrass, rest for 10 minutes once the meat looks dark and oily, and serve.
💡 Tip: Stir often in the final half hour; once the coconut oil separates, rendang can catch on the bottom quickly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with plain rice, cucumber slices, and optional spicy pickles.
