Roasted Beef with Garlic and Soybean Sauce
Ingredients:
- 500 grams of beef (cut into preferred size)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 5 shallots
- 1 large chili pepper
- Juice of 1 lime
- Soy sauce
- Salt
- MSG (optional)
- Butter
- Soybean sauce
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Beef: Begin by cutting the beef into your preferred size. Marinate it with salt, black pepper, soybean sauce, and lime juice. Allow it to marinate and absorb the flavors for at least 30 minutes.
-
Sear the Beef: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and melt a generous amount of butter. Once the butter is hot, add the marinated beef and sear it until it develops a nice char and caramelization on the outside. This step will help make the beef tender. After searing, remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add a little more butter if needed, and sauté the chopped garlic, shallots, and chili pepper until they become fragrant and slightly golden.
-
Combine and Cook: Return the seared beef to the skillet with the sautéed aromatics. Add salt, MSG (if using), and soy sauce to taste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Simmer: Pour in a small amount of water, enough to help cook the beef thoroughly. Allow the mixture to simmer until the beef is fully cooked and tender. If the beef needs more time to become tender, you can add additional water as needed. Remember to adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
-
Finish and Serve: Once the beef is tender and the flavors are well-balanced, turn off the heat. Transfer the beef and sauce to a serving plate. For the best dining experience, avoid eating directly from the skillet—plate the dish for a more refined presentation.
-
Enjoy: Ensure the stove is turned off and that you’re not wasting gas. Enjoy your delicious roasted beef with garlic and soybean sauce!
This savory dish combines the rich flavors of garlic and soy with tender, caramelized beef for a delightful meal that’s sure to impress.
