Shit slaps im a good cook
for the sauce I fried up some minced mushrooms, onions, garlic, ginger, added soy sauce, ponzu, rice wine vinegar and lime juice, brown sugar, some garam masala, some cloves which made it too much cloves, some cayenne, some red chili flakes, some of the gochujang, some cholula hot sauce, and some thai chili garlic sauce, then I blendered that up with an immersion blender until super fine, cooked it to reduce, and added a little corn starch to thicken it. Also salt and pepper and a little fish sauce
for the steak I fried some blanched peanuts with garlic, added a little toasted sesame oil, added a little lime juice and soy sauce, blendered up that until super pastey, mixed that with gochujang (which I also fried in the pan), added a little salt and pepper and sugar and then smeared that on the steaks and let them sit for like 2 hours, then I pan fried them until medium rareish, rested, sliced super thin at a bias
the red cabbage was mixed with a portion of the steak rub gochujang peanut mixture
red onions and carrots pickled in lime juice (w/ salt, pepper, sugar, etc)
Last time I made a dish spanning that many cuisines, it turned out to be very average, maybe not surprisingly. Glad it worked for you though! I didn't expect garam masala to be in there lol
I saw cardamom and wanted cardamom but it had too much cloves
