Cooking Steps

1
  • Add the water (for the rice) to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil.
  • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. 

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek

2
  • Meanwhile, using a meat mallet or rolling pin, smash cucumbers until they split open on the sides, then roughly chop.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar (rice wine or white wine) and a good pinch of sugar and salt.
  • Add cucumber to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover cucumber. Set aside.
3
  • Remove centre veins from makrut lime leaves, then very finely chop.
  • Thinly slice long chilli.
  • Transfer slow-cooked beef brisket including the liquid to a bowl and shred with 2 forks.

TIP: The makrut lime leaves are fibrous so you want to cut them into small pieces!

4
  • In a large frying pan, cook shredded beef (no need for oil) over high heat, stirring, until heated through and liquid has evaporated, 4-5 minutes.
5
  • To the pan with the beef, add makrut lime leaves and rendang paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Add coconut milk and the water (for the curry) and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
6
  • Divide jasmine rice between bowls.
  • Top with Indonesian beef brisket rendang curry.
  • Garnish with chilli (if using). Enjoy!
