Step by step

Method

  1. 1

    Make the rendang: heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok and saute the blended ingredients until the oil separates. Add the beef, coconut milk, kerisik and kaffir lime leaves and cook until the beef is tender. Season with salt and brown sugar to taste, adjust the seasoning and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Grease an ovenproof dish with Anchor Butter Unsalted. Spoon a layer of rendang into the dish and level it. Sprinkle with Perfect Italiano Perfect Bakes and Perfect Italiano Mozzarella, then lay 1-2 pieces of roti canai on top.

  3. 3

    Repeat to build several layers, finishing with a layer of Perfect Italiano Perfect Bakes on top. Cover with aluminium foil and bake in an oven preheated to 180-190C for 20-25 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove the foil, sprinkle over the remaining Perfect Italiano Perfect Bakes and bake for a further 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
