Let this rump steak okonomiyaki walk into your kitchen and seduce you. A pillowy soft pancake encases a simple veggie mix and tender New Zealand beef. Ready in just under 30 minutes, we invite you to take the base and get a little wild with your toppings. A non-negotiable is the Jenny’s Tamarind Kitchen Tangy sauce – it’s a little spicy, a lot savoury and the perfect umami hit you need. The rest is up to you. Think mayo, pickled ginger and sesame seeds or whatever else takes your fancy. Put them on the table and let everyone top their own pancake for an easy dinner.

Ingredients

1 cup plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 eggs
¾ cup dashii
4 cups cabbage
finely shredded
2 carrot
grated
1 capsicum
finely diced
3 spring onions
chopped
400g Quality Mark rump steaks
2 Tbsp canola oil
2 Tbsp Jenny's Kitchen Original Tangy Tamarind Sauce
to serve
2 Tbsp Kewpie mayoi
to serve
pickled ginger
sesame seeds

Method

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and dashi stock.

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until you get a smooth batter.

Fold in the shredded cabbage, carrot, capsicum and chopped green onions. Set aside.

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat.

Add the diced rump steak and quickly stir-fry until just cooked but still tender. Set aside to rest.

Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan.

Pour a quarter of the batter into the pan, spreading to form a 20cm circle about 2cm thick. Evenly scatter a quarter of the just cooked rump steak on top.

Cook on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until the underside is golden.

Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula, cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and golden.

Repeat with the remaining batter and steak.

Transfer pancakes to plates. Generously drizzle with Jennys Kitchen tamarind sauce and mayonnaise. Top with whatever toppings take your fancy.
