Steamed Buns with BBQ Grilled Steak and Sriracha Mayo

Instructions

1. Slice the red onion and cucumber into thin half-rings and place them together in a bowl.
2. Heat the vinegar, water, and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves and pour it over the cucumber and onion. Let it sit until ready to use.
3. Heat the milk in a saucepan until it's lukewarm. Mix the flour, yeast, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a stand mixer.
4. Add the milk to the mixer while mixing and knead for 15-20 minutes with the dough hook attachment on the lowest speed until a smooth, elastic dough forms.
5. Shape the dough into a roll and cut it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece out into an oval shape of about 12 x 8 cm, brush with a little oil, and fold in half.
6. Make 11 more. Let them rise for 30-45 minutes in a warm, draft-free place until the dough slowly returns to its original shape when pressed.
7. Place the steamer basket over a pan with 4 cm of water. Cut 3-4 pieces of baking paper into 12 x 12 cm squares and place them on the bottom of the steamer basket.
8. Add 3-4 buns to the steamer basket and cover it with a lid. Bring the water to a boil and steam the buns for 10 minutes.
9. Remove from heat and let rest for 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining buns.
10. Meanwhile, heat the barbecue.
11. Grill the beef steak for about 4 minutes on the barbecue. Flip halfway through. Slice the steak into strips and chop the cilantro.
12. Place the steak, pickled red onion, cucumber, cilantro, sesame seeds, and sriracha mayo on the table so everyone can assemble their own bun.
