Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tempe:
- Steam or boil the tempeh blocks until soft. This helps to improve the texture and makes it easier to season.
-
Make the Tempeh Dough:
- In a bowl, combine the steamed tempeh, minced garlic, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Mash the mixture together until well incorporated, forming a dough-like consistency.
-
Shape the Tempeh Steaks:
- Once mixed, divide the tempeh dough into equal portions and flatten each one into steak-like patties.
-
Fry the Tempeh:
- Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the tempeh steaks until golden brown and crispy on both sides. For an extra crispy texture, you can coat them with multipurpose flour before frying (optional). Once done, set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
-
Prepare the Savory Sauce:
- In another pan, heat a little oil and sauté the sliced onion and garlic until fragrant and softened.
- Add the tomato sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, salt, sugar, and a little water to the pan. Stir and let it simmer until the sauce thickens to your preferred consistency. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
-
Serve:
- Serve the crispy tempeh steaks drizzled with the savory sauce. For a complete meal, pair it with a side of steamed vegetables or your favorite salad.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy Steak Tempe!
