Preparation
-

-
7.Serve the grilled steaks with tamarind sauce and fragrant coconut rice.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Turmeric — Be cautious when handling turmeric as it can stain surfaces and clothing. Use gloves or wash your hands immediately after handling.
- Tamarind sauce — Adjust the amount of tamarind sauce according to your taste preferences. Add more for a tangier flavor or less for a milder taste.
Tips & Tricks
- For a smokier flavor, you can use a charcoal grill instead of a gas grill.
- Allow the steaks to come to room temperature before grilling to ensure even cooking.
- Let the steaks rest after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Serve the steak with a squeeze of lime for an extra burst of freshness.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
Serving advice
Serve the grilled Eurasian-style steak as the centerpiece of a meal, accompanied by fragrant coconut rice and tamarind sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or Thai basil, for added freshness and visual appeal.
Presentation advice
Present the grilled steak on a large platter, sliced and arranged neatly. Drizzle the tamarind sauce over the steak and sprinkle some chopped herbs on top for an attractive presentation. Serve the fragrant coconut rice in a separate bowl or mound it alongside the steak.
