    5 Ingredient Garlic Chili Round Steak (เนื้อย่างหมักซอสพริกกระเทียม)

    January 10, 2021 By Adam 2 Comments

    You can make this 5 Ingredient Garlic Chili Round Steak with minimal ingredients and very inexpensively.  It looks like you are going fancy when, in reality, I spent $2.50 on the meat, on sale.  I also made it simpler by using premade garlic chili sauce.

    Garlic Chili Round Eye With Caramelized Onions

    About Round Steak

    Generally, you can get a leaner cut of meat for a good price with a round steak.  We have done a couple of posts using round steak, usually round eye.  You can be pretty sure that round eye is a leaner cut of meat.  With any of these cuts you will want to trim off any fat if you can.  Here's the definition, differentiating the types from the Wikipedia page. 

    A round steak is a beef steak from the "round", the rear leg of the cow. The round is divided into cuts including the eye (of) round, bottom round, and top round, with or without the "round" bone (femur), and may include the knuckle (sirloin tip), depending on how the round is separated from the loin. This is a lean cut and it is moderately tough.

    Marinating the Meat

    You can do this recipe as simple as using 2 ingredients if you want to just marinate and cook.  I marinated the steaks in ½ cup of garlic chili sauce for like 30 minutes, in a ziplock type bag or bowl, and in a fridge if possible.  You could add a little oil into the mix to help with taste and to prevent drying out.

    Reusing the marinade as a sauce? 

    I don't recommend this according to this article.  You would have to boil it and I don't think it's really worth it unless you are a ninja with your budgeting and reuse everything.  I was just curious and I tried it and it was too difficult not to burn it, but it was an interesting experiment and as long as you bring it to a boil it's likely pretty safe.  It's just too much trouble and almost impossible in my opinion.  Garlic chili sauce is cheap enough you can just add some to your onions from the jar and save yourself the trouble.  

    Optional Caramelized Onion Topping

    You can just cook the marinated meat in 5 minutes if you are going for speed, cost, and ease. Just throw it on the grill or skillet at that point if you want simple.   If you want a more difficult but beautiful presentation with more flavor, try this in a saucepan, skillet or wok.   The topping idea was inspired by this recipe from another blog, check it out and send them some love.  

    • 1 large onion chopped
    • 1-2 tablespoons garlic chili sauce
    • 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter
    • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or liquid aminos

    You will want to be careful and cook this fast, don't walk away.  I charred mine a little on my first attempt, you can avoid this by starting on medium and paying close attention.  Add the ingredients other than onions and mix until well mixed and then add the onions and caramelize while hot.   

    Platting

    We platted our steak over basmati rice, which has a low glycemic index, and served with sliced, and skinned cucumbers topped with salt and ground Thai pepper.
