Cook the Beef
Heat cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the spice paste and cook, stirring continuously, until fragrant (about 5-7 minutes).
Add the beef cubes and cook until they are browned on all sides.
Simmer the Rendang
Pour in the coconut milk and water. Stir well to combine.
Add the kaffir lime leaves, turmeric leaves (if using), lemongrass, galangal, salt, and palm sugar.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the meat is tender. The sauce should be thick and coat the beef well.
Rest
Allow the rendang to rest for 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
