Instructions

1. Prepare Strawberry Lemon Mint Drink

   Slice the strawberries and lemons. Roughly chop the mint leaves and gently mash them in a bowl. Combine the sliced fruit, mashed mint, the juice of two lemons, and water (half the volume of the fruit) in a pitcher. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.

   Time: PT10M

2. Marinate the Steak

   Place the steak pieces in a small bowl. Add soy sauce, chili sauce, mustard, oyster sauce, ketchup, vinegar, black pepper, crushed red chili, and salt. Mix thoroughly, then cover and refrigerate for 1½ hours.

   Time: PT1H30M

3. Prep All Vegetables

   While the steak marinates, slice potatoes into thin chips, carrot into thin rounds, bell pepper into strips, green onions, green chilies, mushrooms, and olives. Keep each type separate.

   Time: PT10M

4. Fry Potato Chips

   Heat 2 tbsp oil in the frying pan over medium‑high heat. Add the potato chips in a single layer and fry until golden and crisp, about 4‑5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 190°C

5. Sauté Garlic in Butter

   Add 1 tbsp butter to the same pan, melt, then add minced garlic. Sauté for 1‑2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Medium

6. Cook the Vegetables

   Add the carrot slices first; stir‑fry for 2 minutes. Then add bell pepper strips and continue for another 2 minutes. Follow with green onions, sliced lemon, and green chilies. Pour in the remaining soy sauce, mustard, ketchup, vinegar, and oyster sauce. Toss everything together, cover the pan, and let steam for 3 minutes. Turn off the heat.

   Time: PT7M

   Temperature: Medium

7. Finish Vegetables with Mushrooms and Olives

   Add the remaining 1 tbsp butter, sliced mushrooms, and olives to the pan. Stir‑fry for 2 minutes until mushrooms are just tender.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Medium

8. Set Aside the Vegetable Mix

   Transfer the cooked vegetables to a serving bowl and keep warm.

   Time: PT1M

9. Cook the Marinated Steak

   Wipe the pan clean, add 2 tbsp olive oil and heat over high heat. Place the steak pieces in the pan, sear each side for 3‑4 minutes (depending on thickness) until a brown crust forms and the interior reaches desired doneness.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: High

10. Prepare the Creamy Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine 1 l milk, 4 tbsp flour, black pepper, crushed red chili, salt, 1 tbsp ketchup, and 1 tsp mustard. Whisk over medium heat until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). Turn off the heat and stir in 100 ml heavy cream. If the sauce is too thin, dissolve an extra teaspoon of flour in a little cold water, add to the sauce and heat briefly.

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: Medium

11. Combine Steak and Sauce (Optional)

    If you prefer the steak coated, pour half of the creamy sauce over the cooked steak and let it sit for 1 minute. Serve the remaining sauce on the side.

    Time: PT2M

12. Assemble and Serve the Drink

    Just before serving, pour the chilled sparkling water into the pitcher with the fruit‑mint mixture. Stir gently and pour into glasses. Serve alongside the steak, vegetables, and creamy sauce.
