Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, create a batter by whisking together the eggs (or use a vegan alternative), minced garlic, pepper, and salt. This mixture will help bind the tempeh and give it a flavorful kick.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the tempeh is cooled slightly, mash it with a fork or your hands until it’s smooth. Gradually mix the mashed tempeh with the egg batter, all-purpose flour, and a little water until the texture is smooth and well combined.
-
Prepare the BBQ Sauce: In a separate pan, heat a little oil and sauté the chopped onion and optional bird’s eye chilies until they are fragrant and translucent. Add in the BBQ sauce, sweet soy sauce, a splash of water, cornstarch, sugar, chopped tomato, salt, and seasoning. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
-
Assemble the Dish: Pour the thickened BBQ sauce over the prepared tempeh steak. Ensure the tempeh is well coated with the flavorful sauce.
-
Serving Suggestion: Serve your Tempe Steak with BBQ Sauce warm, garnished with fresh herbs or alongside steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy the unique flavors and textures!
