Why everyone should try making Beef Rendang.

[@labibrahman]

ethan's slow evolution into a curry boy has been one of the best food youtube arcs in the last couple of years

[@colbyscott8545]

😂😂😂😂

[@labibrahman]

of the last 10 videos on this channel: rendang, keema mutter, butter chicken, chapli kabab, katsu curry he’s 50 percent curry over this stretch we love to see it

[@CookWellEthan]

As soon as the temperature started dropping I'm always on the look out for curry 😂

[@labibrahman]

@@CookWellEthanfor a marginal increase in difficulty with very high return on flavor: dry toast the cumin seed and coriander seed in a pan and grind them in a mortar and pestle takes ~5 mins, no cleanup big boost in flavor presumably you know of this but left it out for simplicity but viewers should know!

[@danielhowell167]

Rendang is actually a Sumatran dish. Buying a packet of rendang with nasi, kankong, and lots of cabe from a Padang restaurant was my favorite local meal when I lived in West Java. It is INCREDIBLY flavorful! Glad you are giving it exposure

[@danielhowell167]

Foods from Indonesia/Malaysia are so underrated and largely unknown in a lot of the western world. I’m glad you like to highlight some of the dishes from that region!

[@CookWellEthan]

Do you have any other dishes that I should look into?

[@ridzalsyarif448]

@@CookWellEthan some favorites from my childhood are bakso, pempek, and nasi uduk

[@ReadinOutLoud]

@@CookWellEthan"Che Nom" youtube channel cooks authentic and easy homemade malaysian dishes, we usually eat our white rice with protein and vege dishes! theres so much to choose from!

[@meinelust]

@@CookWellEthan Opor Ayam or Nasi Gudeg.

[@derppizza145]

soto would be a very simple one, and there are hundreds of variation depending on the region of Indonesia ​@@CookWellEthan

[@goatelement]

this channel is most practical way of teaching people how to cook. Its very rare seeing people try something different and is exactly what i like about this. Keep doing what you are doing my man RESPECT 💪

[@abdulwasiu7480]

Ethan has earned my respect, while other youtubers make it worse learning he makes it easy fun and really enjoying to watch and learn.

[@iliasi.4004]

i like the style of the video. no music no distraction no editing pure knowledge

[@Dexy83]

The pup in the hallway wanting to get into the kitchen is making me giggle. I put my slow cooker outside earlier this week. lol Overnight temps was 20, so I left it outside all night. lol

[@marthasundquist5761]

My mom never understood the mallard reaction, and used kitchen bouquet browning sauce in recipes...I learned from her...but now that I know, I am experimenting with getting nice brown sauces and broths by browning my meats first.

[@COZYTW]

There are a few more tricks to amp up the flavour even more, such as the use of pandan leaves in the rice's cooking process to elevate its aroma even further, but it's pretty good as is.

[@brandoncarterr]

Nice video Ethan! I really enjoy these real time filmed accessible cooking videos. Reminds me of sitting on Kenji’s head with a go pro in his kitchen. It’s the most realistic view of actually cooking in your home on the fly.

[@albhtan]

Love your kitchen's aesthetics very clean!

[@sideeffect2]

I literally BEG my coworker to make this for me. It's one of my gave dishes too! I can't wait to try this recipe out.

[@kukri52231]

Thank you Ethan for teaching us how to make non western food. Too many cooking channels only make French/Italian/english etc cuisine. BORING!

[@jadus2198]

Coconut milk will get the meat (every meat) very tender. In Indonesia they use it a lot. You can even get leather tender with coconut milk sort of speak. One note, try to beat up the lemon grass...

[@SammyMaeQ]

I love the style of this- very lightly edited.

[@samuelmahoney6878]

This looks delicious! I think it is missing the key flavor profile of caramelized coconut. For my cheat rendang (no fresh coconut), I use coconut milk and dedicated coconut, cook it down until it breaks, cook it more until it starts to caramelize, then start adding beef and aromatics

[@sepotento]

Wow, I just bought curry paste with those ingredients (chilli, lemongrass, garlic, shallot, makrut lime zest, galangan, coriander and cumin), what a coincidence.🙂

[@zozozzzoya]

I love this real-time process and that you’re explaining substitutes you made for the dish!

[@LonkinPork]

Really loving the new channel, very old-school Food Network. I especially appreciate the hot plate on the island so you can get those nice action shots and other camera angles

[@bonster101]

World Market is a chain that has Kefir lime leaves if you have one in ur area. (same a Makrut leaves) they are dried but still strong flavor/smell

[@badmeatbrowniesthoughts1327]

Brother..I'll be making a version of this. It looks amazing 👏

[@MrDennis893]

I love beef rendang! Favorite dish ever. I make it with trassi (fermented shrimp paste) and sambal (chili crisp in oil) in the aromatic paste. Especially the trassi adds a whole new dimension to the dish. Not sure if it is available in the US.

[@reubx]

Maybe a bit off topic but curious how you find the utility of two wall ovens in this (new?) space? Given your experience, would love a vid on kitchen ergonomics. There's so little out there from people who actually cook thoughtfully. Thanks for the great content as ever.

[@InfinityCSM]

I’m gonna try this recipe!

[@icecreamrollscraze]

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video! I've been looking for a new recipe to try and this Beef Rendang looks incredible. I love the combination of flavors and the way the chef breaks down the steps is really helpful. I'm definitely going to give this a try and see how it turns out. Thanks for sharing your passion for cooking with us!

[@syesepoh]

Try Shin Beef for this style of curry, elevates it to a different level.

[@chrissy4552]

Thanks for the inspiration! Just turned some of my leftover prime rib into a beef curry. 🎉

[@OGKenG]

10 points if you heard the dog whining when he was taking the meat out of the packaging.

[@dudenight652]

Hi Ethan, great recipe, and i want to try to cook it in pressure cooker, so i wanted to ask how long do I cook it and how much coconut milk do I use? Thanks

[@stuponfucious7]

The Big Chlebowski!

[@bangalibabus]

looks like we've found the real Chef Curry over here

[@rainzerdesu]

If stew beef wasn't like 8x the price of chicken here, i'd buy it more

[@abdulwasiu7480]

and why haven't you tried Nihari yet? Ethan man I beg of you please Make Nihari with some hot naan

[@NomenNesc1o]

I'm used to other terms being used for 'makrut lime', lol.

[@alexcardoso3232]

can you please try to make an ethiopian style awaze ribs recipe?

[@coolekelam]

Can I use dried lemon grass for this?

[@AhmadAsrafHashim]

As a Malay living in Malaysia, I'm laughing so hard 😅

[@ArccRs]

Very controversial to claim that it's Malaysian, Ethan! It is popular there, but I believe it originates from Indonesia.

[@CookWellEthan]

I’m not making any claims about its full history or origin. I know it’s popular in Malaysia and that’s where I heard about it. Most dishes around the world are commonly eaten in the surrounding areas/countries/etc. If any one has the background history and origin let us know in the comments!

[@danielhowell167]

From Sumatra

[@bonster101]

not controversial at all. Its 100% associated with Malaysian cuisine here in the west than Indonesia. Not everything needs to be controversial. .

[@kappamaster7179]

It originates from present day Indonesia, from the city of Padang, but the Padang people were well traveled, that's how the cuisine spread all over Indonesia and Malaysia too.

[@elinamanansi5508]

​@@bonster101then can i say that pizza is from the USA? Because the most popular pizza franchise are from the USA.

[@nycsox987]

Could you do this in the slow cookers after browning off the meat??

[@Chris90.]

not bad for once on occasion

[@Anteater23]

The one thing I hate about cooking (especially browning meat) is that me and my clothes end up stinking.

[@VoiceOfReason5487]

Skip making the curry paste and buy a good-quality rendang curry paste from Prima Taste or Tean's Gourmet. Saves a lot of time and hassle and tastes just as good.

[@TravisBickle-e1u]

Biryani...plzz

[@sK0pe-d9b]

That is a crazy amount of turmeric 😂you would get the same result with less than half.

[@samantha939]

What do you think of substituting pork for stews like this? I have to watch my iron intake due to risk of heamachromatosis so i can only really have beef very occasionally.

[@GoatThatWasALamp]

I’m obviously not Ethan but I would think any braising cut should work for this? So pork shoulder or butt are my first thought but I don’t know how those stack up from an iron perspective so double check that before you take my word on this

[@samantha939]

@@GoatThatWasALamp yeah shoulder is what i usually use for pork braises/stews. but obviously pork does taste different to beef, so some dishes won't work that well.

[@Kevin_here]

I dont think that will do, that already happend in Indonesia, and people get angry because for most people here use pork make it haram, so the restaurant just get closed after that

[@CookWellEthan]

A pork shoulder cut into cubes would totally work. Obviously it will taste different than beef, but pork is commonly used in other curry based dishes around the world, so I'd give it a shot!

[@chromberries7329]

Sounds delicious

Someone got a dog? Lol

[@ReadinOutLoud]

as Malaysian long time silent viewer of your channel seeing this!! Rendang is also our festive food must haves during Eid celebration!

[@johnferry7778]

I’ve been trawling through recipes for Rendang and this one is very easy to follow. I’m definitely going to make this but probably without the lemon grass, (perhaps just a small amount) I really don’t like the smell or taste of it. It’s why I prefer Indian curries to Thai. It looks fantastic though and I’ve already bought most of the ingredients. Great video as usual.

[@StevenSmith-du4rr]

Your dog is suffering from dad separation because it's not in the kitchen with you.

[@mark09mannavarro30]

Second, and yes this video is very helpful and entertaining

[@Hippatus]

jamie oliver?

[@Carlitabita]

That looks terrible. Have you ever been to a Malaysian or Indonesian restaurant? You also pronounced it incorrectly. This video proves that no, not everyone should make beef rendang.

[@abhirupan7630]

Proves what? That people shouldn’t make Rendang if isnt authentic? People will make whatever they want Yeah this recipe is barely rendang and I don’t like it at all, but stop gatekeeping food. The Malay ancestors made rendang with what they had and was a fusion of cultures and now we slap an ‘authentic’ label on it. What a condescending lame ass comment

[@kyle-mb1ij]

Second i suppose

[@MrSISPUP]

Browning the beef and beef bouillon seriously ??? Malaysian or Indonesian dont do that ! Where did you get this recipe dude ?
