Bistik

One of the westernized Indonesian home cooking dishes



Ingredients:
1 pound of pork or beef loins (has dalam --> don't know exactly the English word), thinly sliced, pound the meat and marinate them in sweet soy sauce (I'm a faithful customer of Bango brand, feel free to use other brands :) ), pepper and garlick powder for at least 2 hours (I usually leave it the whole day inside fridge before cook)
5 carrots, sliced vertically 5 cm
1 bunch of green beans, sliced 5 cm
3-5 potatoes (depends on how big they are), sliced wedges --> Try Yukon Gold potatoes, taste delightful, but I don't think we have them here in Singapore, never see other kinds of potatoes other than Russet potatoes
1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
How to make:
1. Steam the veggie until well done, set aside
2. Fry the potatoes until golden, set aside, best to serve while the potatoes still hot
3. Sear the meat, using either butter or olive oil, over a high-teat pan.
4. After you're done with the meat, in the same pan, put around 2 tbsp of olive oil and sautee the onion until soft, then pour down the marinate sauce (don't throw them away, they're delicious leftover haha). Add more sweet soy sauce, black pepper, salt, sugar, pepper to your taste. A bit of wine wouldn't hurt either. To thicken the sauce, pour down the maizena diluted with water to your taste.
5. Arrange all the veggie, potatoes and meat on the plate and pour the sauce :)
