How to Make Delicious and Simple Vegetarian Grilled Beef to Enhance the Flavor of Your Vegetarian Meal

How to prepare Vegetarian Grilled Beef

• 1

  Prepare the ingredients

  The vegetarian beef slices you bought should be soaked in water for about 1 hour to let them expand. After that, rinse them thoroughly with water until the starchy residue is gone, and drain the vegetarian beef slices.

  The cassava should be washed clean, peeled, and cut into rectangular pieces about the length of a finger joint and moderately thin.

  The green onions should be cut into small pieces.

  Tip:

  • If you soak the vegetarian beef slices in cold water, they will be chewier and tastier.
  • Do not cut the cassava too thin or too thick; estimate the thickness so that a piece can be nicely wrapped in the vegetarian beef slice.

  Sauté the ingredients

  Place a pan on the stove and heat it with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Add the green onions and sauté until fragrant.

  Then, add the vegetarian beef slices and stir-fry for about 3 – 5 minutes until cooked.

  Add 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vegetarian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of vegetarian fish sauce, 2 teaspoons of roasted sesame, 1/2 tablespoon of condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon of barbecue marinade. Stir well so that the vegetarian beef slices absorb the seasoning evenly.

  Tip: If you want the grilled beef to be sweet and rich, add 1/2 tablespoon of condensed milk; if you don’t like it too sweet, you can reduce the amount of condensed milk.

  Continue to add the cassava and stir-fry, mixing continuously for about 2 – 3 minutes or until the cassava is cooked and well-seasoned, then turn off the heat and let the vegetarian beef slices and cassava cool slightly.

  Shaping the beef skewers

  After the sliced vegetarian beef and cassava have cooled down, take a skewer to thread the beef skewers.

  Take one slice of beef, wrap it around a piece of cassava, then thread it onto a bamboo skewer. Ideally, you should thread about 5 pieces of beef for each skewer to make it look appealing.

  Grilling the beef skewers

  Place a pan on the stove again. Apply a very thin layer of oil to the pan so that the beef skewers do not burn when searing.

  When the oil is hot, place the skewers you prepared earlier on the grill until they are golden brown on both sides and fragrant. Remember to turn them frequently.

  When the beef is evenly golden on both sides, take them out and they are ready to serve.

  Tip:

  • If you have a charcoal grill at home, grill with charcoal for a more delicious flavor.
  • If you want the beef slices not to be tough or hard after grilling, brush oil on both sides of the skewers while grilling.
  • If you want the skewers to have a beef-like aroma, brush them with vegetarian pho seasoning.
  • You don’t need to grill for too long, as the beef slices and cassava are already cooked; you just need to grill until the skewers are fragrant and ready to eat.
