Ingredients
- 0.55 lbs flank beef steak sliced thinly against the grain
- 4 slices milk bread or white bread
- 4 tablespoon butter for spreading on bread
- ½ teaspoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
Beef marinade:
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon regular soy sauce (not dark soy sauce)
- ¾ teaspoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon water cold
Satay Sauce:
- ¼ teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 ½ tablespoon peanut butter smooth kind
- 1 ½ tablespoon regular soy sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoon brown sugar or white sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemongrass use the white parts only and you can use fresh or frozen
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ shallot or onion
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes optional
Instructions
- Thinly slice flank steak against the grain on an angle. Transfer beef to a mixing bowl. Tip: if you freeze the steak for 30-45 minutes exposed, this will allow you to slice the steak very thinly.
- Add marinade ingredients to beef. Mix with tongs or your hands and then pack the beef into a ball so that the marinade really soaks into the meat. Set aside as you work on the other ingredients.
- In a blender or food processor, add Satay Sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat. Fry marinated beef until the edges are brown and the meat is 50-60% cooked, about 5 minutes.
- Then when the beef is 75% cooked, pour in the satay sauce and mix. Cook for 1-2 minutes until beef is cooked through, no longer red and most the liquids have evaporated. Remove off heat to cool down. Optional: Transfer the beef to a cutting board and finely chop your cooked beef. This makes it easier to eat.
- Butter the slices of bread from edge to edge.
- Add some of the beef to one slice and cover it with another slice of bread. Enjoy warm!
