In this riff on beef rendang, the meat is cooked in coconut milk until it breaks up into gloriously rich jammy solids and delicious fat.

Steps:
- Place a rack in middle of the oven; preheat to 250°F. Spread out coconut flakes on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden, 10-15 minutes. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, season beef generously with salt and set aside. Trim top three-quarters from lemongrass stalks and place top portions in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy roasting pan. Peel outer layers from root end and finely grate into a blender. Add shallot, garlic, chiles, ginger, coconut milk, and curry powder; purée until smooth.
- Arrange short ribs, bone side up, in skillet; pour purée over. Roast until meat is halfway to tender and liquid is reduced by two-thirds (it will look slightly oily and broken, and this is exactly what you want), 3-3 1/2 hours. Turn ribs onto their sides and continue to roast, adding water by 1/4-cupfuls if liquid in skillet looks in danger of burning or getting very dark, until meat is fork-tender and liquid is a jammy glaze, 2-2 1/2 hours longer.
- Toss coconut, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Top short ribs with gremolata and serve with rice.
