Directions
Papaya-Marinated Steak & Malay Onion Sambal, This recipe is great when you have left over papaya skin! Grilled steak is the star of many a braai The papaya skin is the tenderizer for the steaks and the flesh can be saved for another recipe The onions in the sambal are salted and then rinsed cleaned, this process softens them and removes their bitter juices The Malay makes about 1 1/2 cups The recipe is adapted from Jenna Holst from A South African Barbecue MAKE AHEAD: The sambal can be prepared through the first step up to 1 day ahead Steaks marinate for 1 1/2 – 2 hours , A nifty way to make use of papaya peels I just did the steak part, not the sambal used pounded flank steak, and got an easily chewable result, although I’d like to try with a little longer marination time The seasoning was interesting, without being overwhelming (I think it might be lost with the sambal ) I felt like I lost a lot of the spices when the papaya was removed, and then more in the pan Next time, after the steak was cooked, I’d try scraping off a little of the papaya into the pan to brown with maybe a few tablespoons of wine , This recipe is great when you have left over papaya skin!
