Blend the Mixture: In a blender, combine the steamed tempeh, diced onion, garlic, shallots, corned beef, sugar, salt, ground pepper, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and egg. Blend until smooth and well-combined.
-
Shape the Patties: Transfer the mixture into a larger bowl. Add a small amount of tapioca flour to help bind the mixture and make it easier to shape. Mix well, then form the mixture into steak-shaped patties.
-
Cook the Steaks: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the patties on both sides until they are golden brown and cooked through. If you have a grill pan, feel free to use it for grilling instead of frying to give it a more traditional steak look, but frying works just as well and gives a delicious flavor.
Sauce Preparation
-
SautΓ© the Aromatics: In a small pan, heat a little cooking oil. SautΓ© the diced onion until it becomes fragrant and soft, then add the minced garlic. Stir and cook until the garlic is aromatic.
-
Add Sauces: Pour in a little water and then add the chili sauce, tomato sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and barbecue sauce. Stir well and allow the mixture to simmer until it begins to boil.
-
Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a bit of water to create a slurry. Slowly add this slurry to the sauce while stirring to thicken it. Continue cooking for another minute or until the sauce has reached your desired consistency.
Serving
-
Plate the Steaks: Place the fried tempeh-corned beef steaks on a serving plate.
-
Add the Sauce: Generously pour the thickened sauce over the steaks, letting it coat each piece well.
-
Garnish and Serve: Serve the steak with a side of crispy French fries and blanched or sautΓ©ed vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy your Tempe Corned Beef Steak with all its savory, tangy goodness!
