Selat solo

Selat solo is a Javanese dish influenced by Western cuisine and a specialty of the city of Solo in Central Java, Indonesia. The name is Javanese for Solo salad, but the centerpiece is braised beef, preferably tenderloin, served in a thin, watery sauce of garlic, vinegar, sweet soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and water, spiced with nutmeg and black pepper. It comes with hard boiled egg and vegetables such as string beans, potato, tomato, lettuce, cucumber, cauliflower or broccoli and carrot, topped with potato chips and served with mustard, hollandaise or sauce gribiche. It developed in Surakarta in the Dutch East Indies period as a Javanese adaptation of European beefsteak, and it is sometimes called Bistik Jawa.
