Indonesian Coconut-Curry Beef

This is a simplified version of beef rendang, a dry-style curry usually involving a long, slow simmer in coconut milk spiked with an aromatic spice paste. The fall-apart tender beef is left coated with a thick, rich and intensely flavorful sauce. Toasted coconut is a key flavoring in the dish; we use the Instant Pot's sauté function to toast the coconut as the first step, then turn off the pot by pressing Cancel; the residual heat is ideal for gently cooking the aromatics and spices. Serve the curry with plenty of steamed rice.
