Let's Get Started
- In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the beef slices and cook until browned. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the red chili paste and cook for a minute until fragrant.
- Add the coconut milk, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise, brown sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine.
- Return the beef to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Remove the lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, cinnamon stick, cloves, and star anise from the pot.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
- To assemble the wraps, place a spoonful of the rendang beef onto each tortilla. Top with sliced cucumber, red onion, and fresh cilantro.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly and serve with lime wedges on the side.
