Tips/Hints:
You can cook rice or potatoes in the basket while the steak cooks. if so use speed 4
I put the steaks on the tray and put veggies to steam underneath so it is a one dish meal.
This timing gives a medium done steak but very juicy
Judy: My steaks were only 2cm thick so I cooked the vegies for 15 minutes then added the varoma tray with the meat and cooked a further 10 minutes. Heated up a pack of frozen mushroom gravy (EDC) and now I am sold on this idea of varoma steaks. Thanks ozzy-dj for this recipe - we don't eat a lot of red meat but with this easy method we may start to now.
Ruth: We don't have those sauces so he made the marinade based on Jude Blereau's basic Asian marinade from 'Wholefood'. This is
1.5 tbsp tamari 1.5 tbsp mirin 3 tsp pear concentrate 1 tsp grated ginger 1 tsp shopped fresh coriander 1 garlic clove 1/4 cup water. We followed DJs method and added in the chilli and cornflour too.
KerrynN: We did kangaroo this way tonight. It was good but I think it would have been better with less cooking time, say 15 minutes. Parts of the steaks were thinner and these bits were really difficult to eat. Flavour was good though.
luel: I did some kanga this way the other night. Had potatoes cooking in basket and when they hit the 11 mins to go mark i popped on the varoma tray containing some marinated roo steaks. I just bought the ones from woolies already marinated. They came out absolutely delish, moist and tender and quite rare (just how i like them). The steaks were also rested while potatoes were mashed and salad was served, so about 5 mins.

Gee thanks ozzy-dj, don't think I've seen a steak recipe like this before. Interesting, must try it with some nice steaks I have in the freezer. Have all the marinade ingredients too so once my stew has been eaten, this is most definitely on the menu this coming week.

Had this for tea tonight and was very impressed. Another all in one meal, no dirty frying pans, splashback or griller to clean.

Hmmm.... Steamed Steak? I won't make a comment until I try it. ;)
-
I tried this - it was good. it reminded me of an old jamie oliver recipe which marinates the steak in similar flavours (but is not steamed). i think the steaming is good for a midweek meal but would probably prefer it done on the BBQ when time and inclination permitted.
still - i never thought i would eat steamed steak! and it wasn't bad at all...certainly very juicy and flavoursome. thanks for the recipe.
-
Thanks for this recipe! I've been wanting to try steaming steak, as I'd heard it was doable, and tasted good! Must try it. :)
-
I love steak that has been gently steamed and tender, but MrsT likes it killed on the grill :o :o
-
Well, this was delicious and got a thumbs up from all the family. I didn't have any Hoisin Sauce, but substituted plum and soy.
I was amazed at how tasty and tender it was. The look isn't appealing and I think next time I'll put it on the grill for a little bit each side after 15 minutes steaming, just to get the lovely grill marks.
Thanks dj!

I found the mushroom sauce hid the fact that it was steamed MJ and did not detract from the marinade flavours.
-
Heheh, good trick JD!

My DH made this on the weekend. We liked it, I like how all the little bits of chilli stayed on top of the steak as you didn't have to turn it.

Good suggestion Ruth - thanks :-* :-* :-* :-*

I cooked marinated kangaroo steaks in a similar manner :) They were divine nice and juicy :)
-
That would be an excellent way to cook kangaroo, since it's such a lean meat. Steaming would keep it wonderfully moist.

I'm so happy to have found this kanga cooking option, I could never get it quite right on the grill :)

Glad you tried it and then gave us this review luel. It may encourage others to give it a try. Welcome to the forum, how long have you had your machine? How about popping over to Introductions and let everyone welcome you.

I decided to cook steak for DH and DS this way tonight.They liked the flavour and ate it all but decided they like their steak BBQ or pan fried or grilled better.
-
Kangeroo! Dang I'm jealous. The best I can do is armdillo or bison.
-
You don't really eat armadillo do you Kevin M?
