  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (Indonesian: saus tiram)
  • 1 1/4 cup stock (or water)
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch + 3 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced scallions
  • Possible accompaniments
  • Lightly boiled vegetables, like carrot, broccoli, and/or green beans

Instructions

  • Galantine
    1. Soak bread in milk, then process together in a food processor the soaked bread, onion, and garlic. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add ground beef, along with the rest of the galantine ingredients to the mixing bowl. Mix well.
    2. Divide the meat mixture into 4 portions. Shape each portion into a log, about 2" diameter each. (*)
    3. Prepare a steamer. Transfer the meat logs into steam proof plate, and steam for about 30 minutes, or until fully cooked. Set aside to cool completely before cutting into slices.
  • Sauce
    1. Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat, then sauté onion until translucent and caramelized. Then add garlic, and cook until fragrant.
    2. Add in the cloves, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, palm sugar, black pepper, sweet soy sauce, tomato ketchup, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Mix well.
    3. Pour the stock, mix well, and bring to a boil.
    4. Thicken the sauce with corn starch solution.
    5. Turn off heat, transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and garnish with scallions.
  • To serve
    1. Cut the galantine into 1/2" slices and arrange neatly on serving plates. Place some vegetables of your choice as sides. Pour some of the sauce right before serving.

Notes

  • (*) I find out that using a piece of parchment paper is really great to shape the meat into log.
