Rendang is an Indonesian spicy meat dish originating from the Minangkabau region in West Sumatra, Indonesia.[5] It has spread across Indonesia to the cuisines of neighbouring Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and the Philippines.[2] Rendang is often described as a rich Southeast Asian curry that's made by stewing meat in coconut milk and spices until it becomes tender.[6] Rendang is a piece of meat — most commonly beef (rendang daging) — that has been slow cooked and braised in a coconut milk and spice mixture,[7][8] well until the liquids evaporate and the meat turns dark brown and tender, becoming caramelized and infused with rich spices.
As the signature dish of Minangkabau culture, rendang is traditionally served at ceremonial occasions to honour guests during festive events; such as wedding feasts and Hari Raya (Eid al-Fitr).[9] Rendang is also traditionally served among the Malay community in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, as well as the Maranao in the Philippines.[10] Although culinary experts often describe rendang as a curry,[5] the dish is usually not considered as such in Indonesia or Malaysia since it is richer and contains less liquid than is normal for curries.[11]
In Indonesia, 6 traditions of rendang has been recognised as intangible cultural heritage by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture, all are registered under West Sumatra province. They are randang (Minang spelling),[12] and gulai rendang,[13] both appointed in 2010. Randang daging (meat rendang),[14] randang kantang (potato rendang),[15] and randang incek kacang,[16] those three appointed in 2016. While rendang paku (fern rendang) of Dharmasraya, appointed in 2018.[17]
In 2011, an online poll of 35,000 people by CNN International nominated beef rendang as the No. 1 World's most delicious dish in their World's 50 most delicious foods: Readers' picks list (even though it was #11 on the original list produced by the staff).[18][19] In 2018, rendang was officially recognised as being one of the 5 national dishes of Indonesia; the others are soto, sate, nasi goreng, and gado-gado.[20]
History
The origin of rendang could be traced back to the Indian merchants links to West Sumatra before the 15th century. There are Dutch archives about Minangkabau that state regular contacts between India and West Sumatra in the early second millennium, thus suggests that north Indian curry was possibly the precursor of rendang. Indian curry was adopted by the Minangkabau people as gulai, a local version of curry. Minangkabau people then cooked this gulai further in order to prepare kalio also known as wet rendang. This cooking process was then continued until it thickened and became rendang or also known as dry rendang.[21]
Andalas University historian, Prof. Gusti Asnan suggests that rendang began to spread across the region when Minangkabau merchants began to trade and migrate to Malacca in the 16th century, "Because the journey through the river waterways in Sumatra took much time, a durable preserved dry rendang is suitable for a long journey."[22] The dried Padang rendang is a durable food, good to consume for weeks, even when left at room temperature.[23] One of the earliest written records of rendang is from the Malaccan Malay manuscript of Hikayat Amir Hamzah,[24] Rendang originated in the Sumatran Minangkabau region and the making of rendang spreads from Minangkabau highlands to Mandailing, Riau, Jambi, across the strait to Malacca and Negeri Sembilan, resulting in a variety of rendang traditions.[25]
During the Indonesian National Revolution in 1946, the Indonesian First Lady Fatmawati, the wife of Sukarno, cooked and sent rendang to boost the morale of Indonesian republic freedom fighters around Yogyakarta. Declined by household helps, she insisted on buying beef and went to the market herself by becak, despite being pregnant at the time.[26]
The popularity of rendang has spread widely from its original domain because of the marantau (migrating) culture of Minangkabau people. In the modern era, Overseas Minangkabau leave their hometown to start a career in other Indonesian cities as well as neighboring countries, and Padang restaurants, Minangkabau eating establishments that are ubiquitous in Indonesian cities, spring up. These Padang restaurants have introduced and popularized Minangkabau style rendang and other Padang food dishes across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the wider world.

Rendang is revered in Minangkabau culture as an embodiment of the philosophy of musyawarah, discussion and consultation with elders.[27] It has been claimed that the four main ingredients represent Minangkabau society as a whole:[28][29]
- The meat (daging) symbolises the Niniak Mamak, the traditional clan leaders such as the datuk, the nobles, royalty, and revered elders.
- The coconut milk (karambia) symbolises the Cadiak Pandai, intellectuals, teachers, poets, and writers.
- The chilli (lado) symbolises the Alim Ulama, clerics, ulama and religious leaders. The hotness of the chilli symbolises Sharia.
- The spice mixture (pemasak) symbolises the rest of Minangkabau society.
In Minangkabau tradition, rendang is a requisite dish for special occasions in traditional Minang ceremonies, from birth ceremonies to circumcision, marriage, Qur'an recitals, and religious festivals such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.[30]
In 2011, rendang placed 11th place on a list of World's 50 best foods published by CNN International.[31] An online reader's poll of 35,000 voters chose beef rendang as the top dish on CNN International's Readers' picks list.[18]
The Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture have included six rendang preparations under its National Intangible Cultural Heritage of Indonesia list, all of which are registered under West Sumatra: Randang (Minang spelling),[32] and gulai rendang,[33] were part of the inaugural list in 2010. They were joined by randang daging (meat rendang),[34] randang kantang (potato rendang),[35] and randang incek kacang,[36] in 2016. Rendang paku (fern rendang) of Dharmasraya, is the most recent addition as of 2018.[37]
In 2018, rendang was officially recognised by the Indonesian government as one of the country's five national dishes: the others are soto, sate, nasi goreng, and gado-gado.[38]
Composition and cooking method
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/D2D_9828_wikimedia2020_deni_dahniel_marandang_dagiang.jpg/220px-D2D_9828_wikimedia2020_deni_dahniel_marandang_dagiang.jpg)
Rendang is most often described as meat slow-cooked in coconut milk and spices until it becomes tender.[39][8] If cooked properly, dry rendang can last for as long as four weeks.[23] Prior to refrigeration technology, this style of cooking enabled preservation of the large amount of meat.[40] The cooking technique flourished because of its role in preserving meat in a tropical climate.[22] Its durability is one of the reasons that today, prepackaged rendang is sent as food aid relief for natural disaster survivors in Indonesia.[8] The cut of beef suitable for rendang is lean meat of the rear leg of the cattle; i.e. topside or round beef, which is considered perfect for slow cooking.[41]
Rendang is rich in spices. Along with the main meat ingredient, rendang uses coconut milk and a paste of mixed ground spices, including ginger, galangal, turmeric leaves, lemongrass, garlic, shallots, chillis and other spices. This spice mixture is called pemasak in Minangkabau. The spices, garlic, shallot, ginger and galangal used in rendang have antimicrobial properties and serve as natural organic preservatives.[42] Although some culinary experts describe rendang as a curry,[39][5][23] the dish is usually not considered as such in Indonesia or Malaysia since it is richer and contains less liquid than is normal for curries.[43]
Traditionally the term rendang does not refer to a certain type of dish. The verb merendang actually refers to a method of slow cooking; continuously churning the ingredients in a pot or frying pan, on a small fire, until all of the liquids evaporate and the meat is well done.[44] Traditional Padang rendang takes hours to cook. Cooking rendang involves pounding and grinding ingredients as well as slow cooking, and so is time-consuming and requires patience.[45] The meat pieces are slowly cooked in coconut milk and spices until almost all the liquid is gone, allowing the meat to become tender and absorb the condiments. The cooking process changes from boiling to frying, as the liquid evaporates and the coconut milk turns to coconut oil.[46] Cooking the meat until tender with almost all the liquid evaporated requires great care, keeping it from getting burnt. Because of its generous use of numerous spices, rendang is known for having a complex and unique taste.
Rendang is often served with steamed rice, ketupat (a compressed rice cake) or lemang (glutinous rice cooked in bamboo tubes), accompanied with vegetable side dishes such as boiled cassava leaf, cubadak[47] (young jackfruit gulai), cabbage gulai and lado (red or green chilli pepper sambal).

Early on, the coconut milk is still abundant.
-
Then, the coconut milk starts to evaporate and become oily.
-
By the end, the coconut milk has almost evaporated completely and the meat has darkened.
-
The final dish is less liquid than a curry.

Served with nasi rames
Types
In Minangkabau culinary tradition, there are three recognised stages in cooking meat in spicy coconut milk. The dish which results is categorised according to the liquid content of the cooked coconut milk, which ranges from the most wet and soupy to the most dry: Gulai — Kalio – Rendang.[48] The ingredients of gulai, kalio and rendang are almost identical with the exceptions that gulai usually has less red chilli pepper and more turmeric, while rendang has richer spices.
If pieces of meat are cooked in spicy coconut milk and the process stopped right when the meat is done and the coconut milk has reached its boiling point, the dish is called gulai. If the process continues until the coconut milk is partly evaporated and the meat has started to brown, the dish is called kalio. For traditional dry rendang, the process continues hours beyond this, until the liquid has all but completely evaporated and the color turns to a dark brown, almost black color. Thus not only liquid content but also color indicate which type of rendang is involved: gulai is light yellow, kalio is brown and rendang is very dark brown. Today, one mostly finds only two simpler categories of rendang: either dry or wet.[49]

According to Minangkabau tradition, their true rendang is the dry one. Although, unlike crispy dendeng balado spicy jerky, rendang's texture is not actually dry, since it is quite moist and rather oily. Rendang is diligently stirred, attended, and cooked for hours until the coconut milk has evaporated, turned into coconut oil, and the meat has absorbed the spices. It is still served for special ceremonial occasions or to honor guests. If cooked properly, dried rendang can last for three to four weeks stored at room temperature and is still good to consume.[23] It can even last months stored in a refrigerator, and up to six months if frozen.
Wet rendang or kalio
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/Rendang_dish_closeup.jpg/220px-Rendang_dish_closeup.jpg)
Wet rendang, more accurately identified as kalio, is a type of rendang that is cooked for a shorter period of time and much of the coconut milk liquid has not evaporated. Kalio has quite abundant liquid sauce acquired from cooked coconut milk that partly has turned into spicy oil, which is quite flavourful if consumed with steamed rice. Much of rendang served abroad is actually more akin to kalio or wet version of rendang. If stored at room temperature, kalio lasts less than a week.[9] Kalio usually has a light golden brown colour, paler than dry rendang.
Variations
Rendang is made from beef (or occasionally beef liver, chicken, duck, mutton, water buffalo, or vegetables like jackfruit or cassava). Chicken or duck rendang also contains tamarind and is usually not cooked for as long as beef rendang.[50]
The original Minangkabau rendang has two categories, rendang darek and rendang pesisir. Rendang darek (‘land rendang’) is an umbrella term for dishes from old regions in mountainous areas of the Minangkabau Highlands such as Batusangkar, Agam, Lima Puluh Kota, Payakumbuh, Padang Panjang and Bukittinggi. It mainly consists of beef, offal, poultry products, jackfruit, and many other vegetables and animal products which are found in these places. Rendang pesisir (‘coastal rendang’) is from the coastal regions of Minangkabau such as Pariaman, Padang, Painan and Pasaman. Rendang pesisir mainly consists of seafood, although it is not unusual for them to incorporate beef or water buffalo meat in their rendang.

Today, rendang is quite widespread in Indonesia, owned mainly by the proliferation of Padang restaurants in the country, which led to popularity and adoption of rendang into the kitchens of contemporary Indonesian households of various ethnic backgrounds. This might led to development of variants with slightly altered tastes to accommodate regional preferences. Other ethnic groups in Indonesia also have adopted a version of rendang into their daily diet. For example, in Java, the rendang—aside from the Padang variety sold in Padang restaurants—tend to be wet, slightly sweeter and less spicy to accommodate Javanese tastes.

Indonesian dishes, including rendang, are served in numbers of Indonesian restaurants in Dutch cities, especially The Hague, Utrecht, Rotterdam and Amsterdam.[123]
In the Philippines

Fusion rendang
Rendang bumbu is sometimes used as the base of other fusion dishes. Some chefs in Indonesian sushi establishments for example, have developed a Japanese-Indonesian fusion cuisine with recipes for krakatau roll, gado-gado roll, rendang roll[127] and gulai ramen.[128] Several chefs and food industries have experimented with fusing rendang with sandwiches, burgers and spaghetti. Burger King at one time served their take on a rendang-flavoured burger in their Singapore and Indonesia chains for a limited promotion period.[129][130] Spaghetti with rendang could also be found in 7-Eleven convenience stores across Indonesia.
Rendang is also a popular flavour in Indonesian instant noodle variants, such as the Indomie Goreng Rendang.[131]
Most recently, there were Taiwanese baozis with rendang fillings sold at Neo Soho Mall in West Jakarta.[132]
