Steak and Potatoes, Malaysian style

Garlic & Ginger Soy Caramelised Steak     (Malaysian) 

2 - 3 people with rice and veggies

I like to serve these caramelised steaks with rice and steamed/microwaved veggies. Due to the slight caremelisation of the sauce on the beef, I felt like I was having beef char siu rice and it was delicious!

Ingredients

2 Tbsps soy sauce

2 Tbsps water

1 Tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp ginger paste

1 tsp garlic paste

1 tsp sesame oil

2 Scotch Fillet/Porterhouse Steaks (about 400g)

Freshly milled black pepper

2 pinches of salt

Cooking spray

Thinly sliced spring onion for garnish

Instructions

In a small bowl, add soy sauce, water, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and sesame oil and whisk until well combined with a fork. Set aside.

Heat up your pan. While waiting for the pan to be hot, season the steaks with pepper and salt on both sides and spray them with cooking spray.

Roasted New Potatoes Recipe Norm's note: I added boiled onions.

Prep time: 10 minutesCook time: 40 minutesYield: Serves 4-6

The small new potatoes work great for this dish, all you have to do is cut them in half. Otherwise cut the larger new potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks. No need to peel.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds of smallish new potatoes (red or yellow skinned), cleaned, cut in half or quarters

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)

1-2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced

1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

1 Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Place potatoes in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, olive oil, rosemary, and garlic. Toss until potatoes are well coated with everything.

2 Spread the potatoes out on a single layer of a roasting pan (a sturdy pan that can take high oven heat, a standard cookie sheet may warp). Roast for 40 minutes, or until potatoes are cooked through and browned. Serve immediately.
