Beef with Sa Tsa Sauce

Beef with Sa Tsa Sauce

Pane-Bistecca
Beef with Sa Tsa Sauce (or Shacha Sauce) originates from southern China, the Guangdong and Fujian region, and is also served in Taiwan. After all, the Taiwanese used to live in southern China before they fled to the island.

Shacha sauce is also known as sa-te in the Teochew and Hokkien dialects, reflecting its origins in the satay sauce introduced by emigrant Min Nan people who returned to China from Southeast Asia. After the Chinese Civil War, Chaoshan immigrants settled in Taiwan and introduced shacha sauce to Taiwan’s culinary repertoire. In the 1960s and 1970s, as the consumption of beef slowly gained cultural acceptance in Taiwan, shacha sauce became increasingly popular among locals.

As peanuts are no longer a basic ingredient in sa tsa sauce, the taste is very different from satay sauce. Sa Tsa sauce is used in many different ways: as a soup base, as a barbecue marinade, as a dip for hot pots or as a seasoning for wok dishes.
