I loved finding an Indonesian recipe that can be made using ingredients readily available in the US- in fact, amazingly, all the necessary ingredients were in my pantry! Well, I used yellow onion for the shallots and a jalapeno for the serranos but close enough. The result was a wonderfully balanced warm and aromatic curry sauce, complemented very nicely by the rich, sweet rice. Couple notes: I used some (1T) of my lime's juice in the rice to balance the coconut flavor, and I found the beef to still be very tough after 35 minutes. I had leftovers which I kept simmering out of curiosity, after another hour, during which I added water twice, it was finally genuinely tender.

My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) 5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. 4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. 3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
