Taiwan Night Market Steak 台灣夜市牛排

Taiwan Night Market Steak 台灣夜市牛排 is one of many mouth-watering foods that’s available at the famous night markets in Taiwan.  Not only is this dish delicious, it’s also very economical.  For approximately $6.50 CAD, you can get a steak platter with rib eye steak, spaghetti, egg, vegetables, various sauces, soup and a buttered dinner roll!  Can you believe it?! I’d probably eat there every day if I was in Taiwan!  I was born in Taiwan so I still have some recollection of the very yummy food.  Unfortunately, I’m not there and so I made this steak at home.  I wasn’t able to make this dish for $6.50, but it sure tasted awesome!

I replicated the signature Taiwan Night Market Steak 台灣夜市牛排 sauce which is an onion and mushroom sauce.  It’s savoury, tangy with a bit of sweetness…goes perfectly with a juicy piece of steak.  I also love the egg they put with it.  I bought some hot plates to get the sizzle effect and gravy boats to make it authentic. (These items are pretty inexpensive at restaurant supply stores)  My family loves them!  It makes eating so much fun and I enjoy seeing their faces when I serve them food like they were at a restaurant. 

Due to the pandemic and not wanting to compromise the health of my elderly mother, we haven’t eaten at a restaurant in ages.  We’ve bought take-out, but it’s not the same.  Converting my dining table into a restaurant setting is something I do for festive occasions and birthdays to make them more memorable even during these difficult times.

You can also use this sauce for cutlets, stir-fries, pastas, french fries and rice.  Seriously, it’s so good, I could drink it like soup!
