Ingredients
2 Tbsp tamari
1 tsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp sheet or wine vinegar
Pinch of salt and pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp Chinese five spice
1/4 tsp liquid smoke
1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp rice malt syrup
Pinch chipotle powder (optional)
Method
1/2 papaya (about 600g) - it’s a good idea to use a papaya that’s not quite ripe for this recipe as you don’t want the steaks going mushy.
Add all the marinade ingredients into a container and mix well. Peel the papaya and cut into ‘fillets’ it should make 3 to 4 fillets. Add the fillets to the marinade mixture. Let marinate for 6 hours or overnight.
When ready to cook heat a fry pan on medium heat. Add the fillets and cook on medium low heat for around 5 minutes each side, adding the marinade as you are cooking. Serve with your choice of sides.
