Mory Sacko's recipe for beef with mafé sauce

Ingredients for 5 people (300 g per serving)

  • 200 g of Thai rice

  • 350 g of beef chuck

  • 100 g chopped white onion

  • 300 g carrot

  • 300 g of white cabbage

  • 500 g of peanut paste

  • 150 g Crushed peanuts

  • 75 g of dried bonito (Katsuobushi)

  • 25 g sweet smoked pepper

  • 3 g of salt

  • 50 g of Tamarind puree

  • 100 g of tomato paste

  • 10 g White Penja pepper

The steps of the recipe 

1.

Cook the Thai rice in previously salted hot water then cool and set aside.

2.

Cut the paleron into a cube, salt and brown the pieces in a little oil.

3.

Wet the chuck with water and cook for 1 hour then decant the meat and filter the cooking broth.

Keep both.

4.

In a pot, sweat the chopped white onion then add the tomato paste.

5.

In the same pot, add the peanut paste then wet with the beef broth.

Add 3 volumes of broth to 1 volume of peanut paste.

If you don't have enough broth, top up with water.

6.

Add the paleron in the sauce then cook between 30min and 1 hour.

Mix well regularly because the sauce sticks easily.

7.

Stop cooking when the sauce slices (the sauce is served sliced) then add the smoked sweet pepper.

8.

Cut the carrots into a whistle then cook them in the English style by immersing the carrots in a large volume of salted boiling water.

Then stop cooking by immersing the carrots in a bath of ice water.

9.

Mix the dried bonito flakes into a powder.

Dressage 

In a plate, place a ladle of mafé sauce then a piece of beef on top. Add sauce as you wish. Place a few carrots around then sprinkle some bonito powder on the piece of beef.
