Beef is one of the most popular types of meat. Rendang is a beef dish that is specially cooked with selected spices which is one of the world's traditional culinary delights originating from the Indonesian part of Sumatra, namely Padang. Beef rendang is a delicious food served for special day moments or big day celebrations, for example holiday celebrations, family party celebrations or other big event moments.
Some time ago I visited my sister's house, she held a thanksgiving gathering with the extended family. Well, every big event we definitely provide a variety of mainstay menus, one of which is beef rendang, as I have explained rendang is a mainstay menu for Indonesian people on big day celebrations. We chose the beef rendang menu mixed with red beans, because my family and people in my area really like this food.
Well, instead of being curious, we will immediately start cooking and invite you to listen to the recipes passed down from generation to generation that I share.

Before starting to cook you have to prepare boiled red beans, this boiling process is carried out until the red beans are really soft so that your rendang is delicious. Well, at the time of boiling I advise you to add salt, to make it easier for the red beans to cook evenly and the taste of the beans will be stronger and savory. Well, I have one more tip for you so that the red beans cook quickly, soak the red beans first in water for about 7 or 5 hours.
