STEAK BUNS WITH PEANUT SAUCE



Steak Buns with Peanut Sauce image

Steamed buns are one of my all-time favorite foods because of how soft and sweet they are. These are inspired by some delicious steak buns that I had in Hong Kong a long time ago. They came with an amazing peanut sauce for dunking and I still dream about them.

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 buns

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 tablespoon sambal oelek
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons yellow curry powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
10 turns black pepper
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
One 14-ounce can coconut milk, well shaken before opening
1 pound flank steak
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons instant dry yeast
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup warm water
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
Neutral oil, for the bowl
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, for brushing
3 tablespoons peanut butter, preferably natural/no added sugar
1 tablespoon sambal oelek, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno (seeds removed)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Bread and butter pickles, for serving
1 bunch fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • For the meat and marinade: Combine the sambal, honey, curry powder, salt, black pepper, garlic and approximately two-thirds of the coconut milk (make sure you SHAKE WELL before opening the can) in a bowl and whisk together (reserve the remaining coconut milk for the peanut sauce). Submerge the flank steak in the marinade, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • For the bun dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the all-purpose flour, cake flour, sugar, yeast and salt and whisk to combine. Add the water and shortening and mix for 10 minutes. Transfer to an oiled bowl and let sit until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Cut eight 3-inch squares of parchment paper. Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a flat oval, about 6 inches by 3 inches. Brush with sesame oil, fold in half and place on a parchment square. Set the buns in a bamboo steamer 1 inch apart, cover and allow the buns to proof in the steamer in a warm place (or just on the countertop), until doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • For the peanut sauce: Meanwhile, combine the reserved coconut milk, peanut butter, sambal, jalapeno and soy sauce and whisk until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water. Reserve at room temperature until serving. (If you make it ahead of time, refrigerate the sauce but take out in time for it to come to room temperature before serving, or it will be very thick.)
  • Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Remove the meat from the marinade and brush off any excess. When the grill is very hot, grill the meat to desired doneness, 4 to 8 minutes on each side is good for medium rare, depending on thickness. Let rest for at least 10 minutes so the juices can settle.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Steam the buns over the boiling water until puffy and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Slice the meat thinly against the grain. Serve the buns right out of the steamer with the sliced meat, peanut sauce, pickles, extra sambal, cilantro and salt to taste.

Yield Makes 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 23

For the Tangy Caramelized Onions:
2 tablespoons neutral vegetable oil, such as grapeseed
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
For the Herb Butter (optional):
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot (about 1 small shallot)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped tarragon or parsley
For the burger:
1 1/2 pounds dry-aged steak (such as rib-eye or New York strip; 20% fat), coarsely ground
Neutral vegetable oil, such as grapeseed (for grill)
Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper
4 slices white cheddar cheese
4 brioche or other high-quality hamburger buns
Romaine or green leaf lettuce (for serving)

Steps:

  • Make the Tangy Caramelized Onions:
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened and starting to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 30 seconds. Add Worcestershire and vinegar, scraping up brown bits on bottom of pan. Stir in butter and brown sugar and continue to cook, adding water by the tablespoonful if skillet starts to dry out, until onions are completely softened and caramelized, 15-20 minutes more. Add 1 Tbsp. water and cook, scraping up brown bits, until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Let cool.
  • Make the Herb Butter:
  • Cook vinegar and shallot in a small skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until vinegar has reduced and skillet is almost dry, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Place butter and salt in a medium bowl. Using a fork, mash shallot mixture into butter until incorporated. Gently fold in tarragon or parsley. Chill until ready to use.
  • Make the burger:
  • Divide ground steak into 4 portions. Shape into 4"-wide, 3/4"-thick, loosely packed patties. Make a small indentation in the center with your thumb to help keep it flat as it grills. Chill until ready to use.
  • Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat; generously oil grates. Generously season patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill, indented side down, until lightly charred on the bottom, 2-3 minutes. Flip, top with cheese, and continue to grill to desired doneness, 2-3 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer burgers to a platter and let rest 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grill buns until toasted, about 30 seconds. Generously spread cut sides of bun with Herb Butter, if using. Top each bottom bun with lettuce, patty, and 3 Tbsp. caramelized onions, then close burgers.
  • Do Ahead
  • Onions can be made 5 days ahead; cover and chill. Butter can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Bring both to room temperature before serving.

BARBECUED ROAST BEEF ON A BUN



Barbecued Roast Beef on a Bun image

I'm going to show you one of my favorite methods for barbecuing relatively inexpensive cuts of beef. If you're wondering "how can it be barbecued, and roast beef?" don't worry about it, because we are not barbecuing or roasting-we are actually grilling. By using this technique, we can transform those cheaper cuts of beef into something absolutely gorgeous. Serve on buns with mayonnaise, pickle slices, and a drizzle of barbecue sauce.

Provided by Chef John

Time 16h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 ½ pounds boneless top round steak
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
⅛ teaspoon ground turmeric
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 (2 ounce) hamburger buns, split

Steps:

  • Mix salt, sugar, pepper, and cayenne for dry rub together and coat beef well on both sides.
  • Place on a rack set on a sheet pan and refrigerate, uncovered, for 12 to 24 hours, flipping over halfway through.
  • Mix barbecue sauce, vinegar, mustard, turmeric, and garlic together for wet rub and reserve.
  • Transfer beef to a dish and pour 1/2 of the wet rub over top. Use two forks to poke the surface all over for about 1 minute. Turn beef over and repeat with remaining wet rub. Spoon any excess on the bottom over the top.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 12 hours.
  • Preheat a charcoal grill until the briquettes turn white and ashy. Remove meat from the refrigerator, uncover, and scrape off excess wet rub.
  • Grill over hot charcoal until blackened and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat reads 120 to 125 degrees F (49 to 52 degrees C), 7 to 10 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Remove to a foil-lined plate, and quickly wrap up tightly in foil.
  • Let rest for at least 15 minutes, during which time the meat will finish cooking, and end up close to medium-rare.
  • Slice very thinly, toss in the meat drippings and juices left in the foil, and serve on buns.
