About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 shallot
- 3.5 clove garlic
- 3 clove Thai chili
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 0.5 lime lime
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp oyster sauce
Instructions
- 1Preheat a grill pan or prepare a kitchen torch. Lightly coat the cherry tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- 2Place the tomatoes on the hot grill or torch them, turning occasionally, until the skins are lightly blackened and the tomatoes are softened, about 3–4 minutes.
- 3Transfer the charred tomatoes to a bowl and let them cool for 2 minutes; then, using clean hands, gently crush them into coarse pieces.
- 4While the tomatoes are cooling, combine the minced garlic, small chopped shallot, and minced Thai chilies in a mortar and pestle (or food processor) and grind into a smooth paste.
- 5Add the finely chopped cilantro to the paste and stir until evenly distributed.
- 6Stir in the lime juice, fish sauce, and oyster sauce, mixing thoroughly to create a cohesive sauce base.
- 7Fold the crushed charred tomatoes into the sauce mixture, adjusting the amount to achieve your desired consistency—smooth or slightly chunky.
- 8Taste the sauce and add a pinch of salt or an extra splash of lime juice if needed for balance.
- 9Allow the sauce to rest for 2 minutes so the flavors meld.
- 10Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature over grilled or pan‑seared steak, spreading it generously over the meat.
- 11Enjoy the steak with the bright, smoky, and spicy Thai tomato sauce.
