Oma’s Steak (Bistik Oma)

I actually started writing this recipe last Friday, but didn’t have the chance to post it because we were busy packing for our weekend at Disneyland. I will write a separate posting on our Disneyland trip. Anyway, I got this recipe from my mother-in-law and she got it from her mother (Arman’s Oma), so it’s a family recipe. This is another type of homemade steak that we love. You enjoy it with the crispy fried potatoes (like potatoes chips) and side boiled carrots. I modified the original recipe a bit (use 2 pieces of tomatoes instead of 6, add sugar to the sauce and steam the carrots instead of boil).

INGREDIENTS:

STEAK: 500 gr sirloin beef, 1/2 piece of nutmeg - shred, 5 teaspoons sweet soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, 2 teaspoons of butter

POTATO CHIPS: 2 pieces of potatoes - cut into very thin slices, vegetable oil for deep frying

CARROTS: 2 pieces of carrots - cut into 1/2 x 1/2 x 3 cm, water for boiling

STEAK SAUCE: 2 pieces of tomatoes - boil then strain to get the tomato puree, 2 cups of water, 7 teaspoons of sweet soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 piece of nutmeg - shred, pepper, mix of 2 teaspoons of tapioca starch with 1/4 cup of water

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEAK: First cut the beef meat into 10 pieces the marinate with sweet soy sauce, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Leave it for 4 hours or over night. Heat up a pan, add the butter, then fry the marinated meat until cook. Once cook, then cut the meat into semi thin slices and put it aside.

POTATO CHIPS: Deep fry the cut very thin slices potatoes until they turn crispy.

CARROTS: Boil or steam the carrots until tender.

STEAK SAUCE: Heat up a pan, then mix together the tomato puree, water, sweet soy sauce, sugar, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Cook until boils, then add mix of water and tapioca starch to get a thicker sauce. Then put in the ready to eat beef steak into the steak sauce.

Ready to serve.
