For example we have to cook onion first instead of lemongrass because the onion have to cook longer than lemongrass... other tips... the coconut milk should be last to cook because the taste of coconut milk will gone if cook too long... there are many tips in asean food... thats why the taste of our receipe different than others... ^^Y

@mycomplid Ah ha! thanks for the tips. We do love rendang beef and eat it at our local restaurant quite often. The one we cooked was very nice but the restaurants version was much nicer. I will definitely use your tips as you are from Malaysian and you will know much more about this than me. So will let you know how it turns out. Many thanks for your help and tips. Scot and Carola

may i know its your rendang have same taste with original rendang... actually you have to cook the ingredient step by step... not mix them all n blend it to make paste... because some ingredient cant absorb very well to meat... they have to cook very well so the aroma of spice can out... our malaysian people didnt want the instant paste from market because the taste is not quite good... try to remake... i bet the taste is better... have a good try ^^Y
