Instructions

For the Tempe Steak:

1. Steam the Tempe: Steam the tempe for about 15 minutes until tender.
2. Prepare the Spice Mixture: While steaming, blend the garlic, shallots, black pepper, coriander, salt, and sugar until smooth.
3. Mash the Tempe: Once steamed, mash the tempe until it reaches a fine consistency.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the mashed tempe with flour, beaten egg, and the prepared spice mixture until well combined.
5. Form the Steaks: Divide the mixture into two portions and shape each into a patty.
6. Fry the Steaks: Heat the butter in a pan and fry the tempe patties until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.

For the Sauce:

1. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pan, add butter and sauté the sliced onion, shallots, and garlic until fragrant.
2. Add Sauces: Stir in the chili sauce and black pepper sauce, mixing well.
3. Thicken the Sauce: If desired, dissolve cornstarch in water and add to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened, then remove from heat.

For the Sides:

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Cut the carrot and cauliflower to your desired size. Steam the vegetables until tender but still vibrant in color.
2. Make Mashed Potatoes: Steam the potato until fully cooked, then mash while still warm. Mix in butter, optional milk, and season with black pepper.
3. Serve: Place the mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, and tempe steaks on a plate.
