Step 1
Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear. Add rice and 1.25 cups coconut milk to a large skillet with a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, ~12 minutes.
Step 3
While rice cooks, heat 1 tbsp oil in another skillet over medium-high. Brown ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir rendang paste into beef, then pour in remaining 0.25 cup coconut milk. Simmer for 2 minutes until fragrant and glossy.
Step 5
Fluff rice with a fork. Divide between bowls and top with rendang beef.

Squeeze lime over top, scatter cilantro and cucumber slices. Serve immediately.
