Rendang Daging Tok (Dry Beef Rendang) 霹雳冷当牛肉


Every time during Ramadan month (Muslim fasting month), I am sure craving for a good Rendang ( I have two version here, rendang chicken and beef rendang ). The other day, my blogger friend Yan who is staying in Ipoh Perak, sent me a link and asked me to cook this Rendang Daging Tok ( a special dry rendang dish from Perak state) . And I told her I will immediately cook it, but too bad I can't send it over for her to taste my rendang ^_^.
According to here, in old time, Rendang Tok considered a special food that only served to Royal family. "Tok" refer to those renowned peoples.

While i was shopping for the ingredients, also try to figure out what veggie dish to enjoy with this Rendang. I saw two makcik there, I quickly asked them what type of veggie dish usually they served with Rendang. Then they told me to cook sayur campur (mixed vegetables).
So this is the Malay style of sayur campur (mixed vegetables) that I cooked to serve with this Rendang Tok . The seasoings I used are light soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, chicken stock powder and salt.

Nami | Just One Cookbook said...

Wow the meat looks so soft and tender. I heard about this many times but didn't have a chance to try authentic one. I want to be one of your family... <3

Sissi said...

I looove rendang! I still remember when I first discovered it: I am a pork and chicken person, so I was really skeptical but I have fallen in love instantly. My favourite cut to prepare it are beef cheeks (though they require a long simmering time).
Your rendang looks perfect and I love the way you have presented ingredients with their names in two languages. Great idea!

Amelia said...

Hi Sonia, I love rendang with ketupat too. Yours look really good and the meat is so tender. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Best regards.
