Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 60 seconds.
Step 2
Brown half the beef, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains on the outside, ~3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining beef.
Step 3
Lower heat to medium. Add shallots to the skillet and cook, stirring, until soft and fragrant, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Stir in rendang paste and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in coconut milk, then return beef to the skillet. Add sugar and lime juice, stir gently until combined.
Step 6
Simmer 2–3 minutes until beef is cooked through and sauce clings to the meat. Top with cilantro and serve.
