Tikka masala steak
As you know, I love to make and eat curries. And everybody loves a steak. But not many people dare to combine the two to make something special.This tikka masala steak was a fan request and as it turned out I should listen to my fans much more. I am amazed that this recipe didn’t already exist. This was a freakin’ delicious steak.
Ingredients
- 1 piece sirloin steak 2 fingers thick (or entrecote if you can't get a sirloin steak)
- 4 red onions
- 6 pieces ginger thumb-size
- 16 cloves garlic
- 1 cup water
- 10 tbsp masala powder
- 1 tsp table salt
the sauce
- 1 ½ kg tomatoes fresh diced
- 100 grams butter
- 100 ml heavy cream
Instructions
- Dice the onions. Slice the fat cap of the steak and put it in a cast-iron pan. Melt the fat over low heat.
- Take out the fat and stir fry the diced onions until they are soft. Take the pan off the fire.
- Put the ginger and garlic cloves in a blender. Grind it down to a thick paste. Add some water when the paste is too thick.
- Add this paste to the pan with fried onions and put in the masala powder. Stir it well and cook it down to a dark brown tikka masala paste.
- Season it with table salt and divide it in half.
- Coat the steak with one half of the tikka masala paste and let this marinate for 2 to 4 hours in the fridge.
- Fire up your grill with 2 zones and a temperature of 140°C/284°F. Take the steak out of the fridge and place it on the indirect side of the grill.
- Stick a thermometer in the meat and close the lid.
- In the meantime, you can make the sauce with the other half of the tikka masala paste. Put it in a pan and add the diced tomatoes. Let it simmer until the tomatoes are fully dissolved. Add the butter and heavy cream.
- Take the steak out of the grill when it reaches a core temperature of 52°C/126°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before you sear it over direct heat for a nice crust.
- Cut the steak into thin slices and serve it with the sauce.
