Malbi is a meat stew originating from Palembang that resembles beef semur.[1] This dish is dark in color, like rendang, and has a sweet and savory taste.[1]

The main characteristics of malbi, apart from its color, are its abundant and thick sauce as well as the use of spices. The main ingredients of this dish are beef and seasonings such as tamarind, shallots, garlic, lemongrass, bay leaves, ginger, galangal, cloves, pepper, mesoyi or cinnamon, nutmeg, and sweet soy sauce.[2]

Malbi is cooked slowly until the spices are absorbed into the meat and the sauce thickens. It can be prepared with coconut milk or only water.[3][4] There are also other variations that add roasted grated coconut or kerisik.[5]
