Saucy Skewered Meat With Cabbage Patties
- 20 ounces round steaks, cut into cubes
- 12 cup tomato ketchup
- 12 cup sweet yellow mustard, sauce (runny hotdog mustard, the cheap one)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 5 -6 wooden skewers, soaked in water
- 1 medium potato, peeled and cut into chunks (or use a large one)
- 2 -3 teaspoons milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 cups cabbage, very finely shredded (I used a mandolin)
- 3 tablespoons green peppers, very finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon flaked sea salt (less if using table salt)
- 2 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped
- 34 teaspoon coarse black pepper
- 1 extra large egg
- butter (for frying)
- oil (for frying)
- Depending on your steak, cut into chunks and leave in a marinade, or use as it is.
- Mix the ketchup, mustard and soy sauce together.
- Thread the meat chunks on the skewers, and drench on both sides in the ketchup mixture.
- Cover, and leave for a while in the fridge.
- Boil the potato chunks until tender.
- In the meantime, slice the cabbage.
- I used 1 baby cabbage because it is easier to work with, and I used a mandolin to slice it really fine.
- Chop 3 tablespoons green pepper finely (about 1/3 pepper).
- Drain the potato chunks, add 2 t milk to start with, and mash.
- Add extra teaspoon milk if too dry.
- Mix all the vegetables (including the mash) in a large bowl, and mix in the oregano.
- Add salt to taste: with sea salt flakes you need less than with fine table salt.
- Mix in the garlic and pepper.
- Whisk the egg briefly and add.
- Mix until you have a mixture which just hold together.
- If really too dry, add a teaspoon of milk.
- Use a pan, pref non-stick, melt the butter and oil over quite high heat, form 4 large flat patties, and fry.
- Lower the heat or they will burn.
- Once the patties slightly hold their shape (they won't be completely firm), turn over with a large spatula.
- They should be browned at the edges, but not fried to death.
- Remove and keep warm.
- The meat skewers: heat your grill to high.
- Take skewers out of the sauce, put on a grid with a pan beneath them, and grill until done.
- You need to turn them once or twice.
- Warm the leftover sauce, and use to spoon over the skewers once done.
- (Can be done on an outside grill or in a hot oven).
- Serve the skewers on the patties, with the patties on a pita bread or toasted panini, or on toasted bread or any bread you like, or even as a kind of hamburger.
- To serve as a main dish, add a tomato-cucumber salsa and corn on the cob -- or similar.
