The history of rendang dates back to the 16th century when the Minangkabau people migrated to West Sumatra from Central Sumatra. The dish evolved over time as the Minangkabau people adapted to their new surroundings and incorporated new ingredients into their cooking.
Rendang was originally a dry dish that was meant to last for several days without refrigeration. It was made with beef or water buffalo and a variety of spices, including turmeric, ginger, and lemongrass.

The dish was slow-cooked over a low flame for several hours until the meat was tender and the flavors had melded together Over time, rendang evolved into the rich and creamy dish that we know today. Coconut milk was added to the recipe, along with other spices such as galangal, chili, and garlic. The slow-cooking process remained a key component of the dish, as it allowed the flavors to develop and intensify over time.

Today, rendang is recognized as one of the most iconic dishes of Indonesia and is enjoyed by people all over the world. It is a testament to the rich culinary heritage of the Minangkabau people and their dedication to preserving their traditional cooking methods.
