> That's the way they serve it in Taiwan. My guess is that we'll be seeing more of those guys on this rock - if China gets their way. Their steak is served with a gravy that's less salty, more sweet, than American. It had an intense black pepper taste, with some anise or 5 spice in it. It's quite different than an American steak. At least they cooked it properly to medium rare - just like I requested.

Béarnaise steak sauce also uses egg, but without the yolks.
