Ingredients:

For the Beef Rendang:

• 1 1/2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into chunks
• 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons grated ginger
• 2 tablespoons Malaysian curry powder
• 2 tablespoons tamarind paste
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 cinnamon stick
• Salt, to taste
• Vegetable oil, for cooking

For the Tacos:

• Corn or flour tortillas
• Sliced cucumber
• Sliced red onion
• Chopped cilantro
• Sliced jalapeños (optional for extra heat)
• Lime wedges
• Shredded lettuce or cabbage

Instructions:

1. Heat a bit of vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant.
2. Stir in the grated ginger, Malaysian curry powder, tamarind paste, brown sugar, and cinnamon stick, and cook for another minute until aromatic.
3. Add the beef chunks to the pot and cook until browned on all sides.
4. Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer gently for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
5. Once the beef rendang is cooked, use two forks to shred the beef into smaller pieces. Let it simmer uncovered for another 15-20 minutes to allow the sauce to further thicken. Season with salt to taste.
6. While the beef rendang is simmering, prepare your taco toppings.
7. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
8. To assemble the tacos, spoon a generous portion of beef rendang onto each tortilla. Top with sliced cucumber, red onion, chopped cilantro, and sliced jalapeños (if using). Squeeze a lime wedge over the top and add shredded lettuce or cabbage for extra crunch.
9. Serve your Malaysian-Inspired Beef Rendang Tacos hot and enjoy the explosion of flavors with each bite!
