Summary
In this riff on Indonesian beef rendang, the meat is cooked in coconut milk until it breaks up into gloriously rich jammy solids and delicious fat. Our hands-off method delivers on two counts: It browns the beef, then cooks it until the meat is fall-apart tender. A low oven temp is crucial: It allows the coconut milk to gradually evaporate until it's thick and saucy.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 3 lb. (1 1/2–2"-thick) cross-cut beef short ribs (flanken style; well-marbled works best)
- Kosher salt
- 2 lemongrass stalks
- 1 shallot, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 red Fresno chiles or jalapeños, seeds removed
- 1 (1") piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
- 1 (13.5-oz.) can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 Tbsp. curry powder
- 1 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
