Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes.
Soak dried chilies in hot water for 30 minutes, then drain.
In a food processor, blend the soaked chilies, shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal, and turmeric into a smooth paste. This is your spice paste.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the spice paste and lemongrass (bruised) and kaffir lime leaves. Sauté until fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the beef to the pot and cook until browned on all sides.
Pour in the coconut milk, add grated coconut, tamarind paste, palm sugar, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is very tender and the sauce has thickened and reduced. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Season with salt to taste.
Serve hot with rice.
