NOTES
1. - SteakBeef tenderloin is the most tender and most beautiful part of a cow. Round steak is slightly less tender and regular steak has the most structure and texture. The price is also increasing. The regular steak is the cheapest and you will pay the most for the tenderloin. You can also use round steak or regular steak for this recipe.Make sure you take the steak out of the fridge at least half an hour in advance. This way it is at the right temperature and the steak will be equally hot and cooked throughout.2. - Steak doneness *Check the doneness of the steak using the following method:
Raw - Open your palm and press the index finger of your other hand between the thumb and wrist area. This is how the meat should feel in the pan: soft but not springing back completely.
Medium Rare - Hold the tip of your thumb against your middle finger and feel the spot between the thumb and the wrist with your other hand (for medium, keep your thumb against your ring finger). It feels firmer and springs back. The steak in the pan should do this too.
Well-done - Hold the tip of your pinky finger against your thumb and feel between the thumb and wrist with your other hand. The meat is firm and hardly springs back
3.- MargarineMargarine contains little water and that gives a very nice gravy. You can also replace this with butter.4. - SambalThe gives flavor to the gravy. If you like it fairly spicy, you add a tablespoon to the sauce, just like I do. But you can also start with a little less and add extra. If you like very spicy food, use .5. - Rest meatAfter cooking, let the meat rest in aluminum foil for 3 to 5 minutes. This redistributes the juices in the meat and makes it more tender.6. - Serving
Fries and Mayonnaise - A golden combination, a delicious steak with fresh fries. You can dip it in the gravy.
White bread - The ultimate combination. The delicious steak with some white bread, which you dip in the gravy. Actually, you don't need more.
7. - StorageYou cannot keep fried Loetje's steak. Make as much steak as you will need and eat immediately.8 - Nutritional valueThe nutritional value shown is per steak with gravy (but without bread and/or fries).
