Gluten Free Malaysian Beef Rendang

Rendang curry is a rich curry full of aromatic spices and some really strong flavours made a little creamier with coconut milk. It is naturally gluten and dairy free and pretty easy to make. It isn't like your Indian curry it has a different sort of flavour that is very rich but exceedingly nice.
