Method

To prepare the meat:

  1. Retain the fat layer covering the meat as it helps to improve the taste and minimizes the dryness and hardness of the beef meat.

  2. Wash the beef and dry it using absorbent paper.

  3. Cut beef into bite-sized pieces and place it on a plate. Mix in some sesame oil.

To prepare the oyster:

  1. Remove oyster shell and take out the oyster meat.

  2. Soak the oyster meat with salt and rinse with water to disinfect. Repeat this 2 - 3 times.

  3. Drain the oyster meat, then marinate them with 2 tsp of sesame oil. 

Preparing the remaining ingredients:

  1. Cut off the roots of enoki mushrooms and soak them in salt for 5 minutes. Wash with water afterwards.

  2. Wash the okra with salt water, remove and cut into bite-sized pieces.

  3. Thinly slice the onion and soak it with salt water to reduce the smell. 

  4. Wash and cut chillies into thin strips. Peel and chop shallots and garlic.
     
  5. Add green chili sauce to a bowl to use as a dipping sauce.

To cook the sauce:

  1. Set the pan on the stove and add 2 tbsp cashew nut oil, chopped garlic and onions.

  2. Add 200ml of water and ripe tamarind fruits. Mix well. When the mixture begins to thicken, turn off the stove and take tamarind seed off.

  3. Add 2 tbsp of ketchup, 2 tbsp of chili sauce, 3 tbsp of sweet and sour sauce,  1 tsp of cornstarch, 1 tsp of chili powder and 1 tsp of pepper.

  4. Stir the mixture until smooth for 2 minutes.

To cook:

  1. Place another pan on the stove and add 1 tbsp of butter on it.

  2. Add onion, enoki mushrooms, Aussie beef shank & oyster to the pan. 

  3. Add more butter, eggs and some of the sauce prepared earlier into the pan. 

  4. Add in the cheese and chilies.

  5. When the mixture is boiled, add the remaining sauce to the pan and add in the meat and remaining ingredients. Cook until the meat is done or medium-rare to ensure that the meat's quality is preserved, then turn off the stove. 

  6. Serve the dish with bread, chili sauce, ketchup, salt and pepper at the side.
