Slow Cooker Malaysia Rendang (Beef)

I just love Malaysia's Nasi Lemak with Rendang.  However, cook Rendang on a stove top can be challenging and time consuming.  I am delighted to cook them in a slow cooker.  Easy and yummy.  It is very authentic and original.

2. 3 medium sized onions, quartered

9. 1/3 cup cooking oil
10. 1 can (about 14 Fl. oz) coconut milk

12. 1/4 cup of lime juice
