Javanese Beef Steak or Solo Salad is a typical Solo food inherited from the Dutch colonial era. Solo Salad has a sweet, sour and savory taste. This food has a distinctive light spice aroma.
The brownish color that dominates this meat-based dish comes from the use of soy sauce. This food, which is often called Javanese beefsteak, was previously only enjoyed by the nobility, but now this food is easily found in a number of restaurants.
Solo Salad is a combination of steak and salad.
The name strait is taken from the word slachtje which means salad. The word slachtje also means the result of slaughtering meat which is made into small pieces. At that time, the people of Surakarta or Solo found it difficult to say the word slachtje, so they often said it with the word Selat.
