Ingredients - Serves 6

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, cinnamon stick, cloves, and cardamom pods. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the beef cubes and cook until browned on all sides.
In a separate bowl, mix together the turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, chili powder, lime juice, and brown sugar to form a paste.
Add the spice paste to the pot and stir well to coat the beef.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the curry simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Season with salt to taste.
Serve the beef rendang hot with steamed rice or roti canai.
