Equipment
Ingredients
10 oz steak fat removed
1 shallot
1 red pepper
1 brown onion sliced
¼ cup sesame seeds
For The Marinade
2 tsp ginger root fresh, finely grated
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp fish sauce
¼ tsp black pepper ground
Instructions
- Combine 2 tsp ginger root, 2 cloves garlic, 2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp brown sugar and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a bowl and stir well.
- Slice 10 oz steak into half inch pieces. Add the beef to the ginger mixture made earlier. Stir so that the meat is coated evenly.
- Allow the beef to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes or preferably 1 to 2 hours.
- Slice 1 shallot in thin slices. Prepare 1 red capsicum as julienne strips after halving and removing the seeds and white core. Slice the 1 brown onion into half rounds.
- Remove the beef slices from the ginger marinade and place into another clean bowl. Add 1/4 cup sesame seeds to the beef and stir to coat the beef evenly.
- Heat a large, heavy frying pan or wok over a medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot add the onion, shallot and red pepper. Fry until aromatic and translucent.
- Turn up the heat and stir fry the beef in small batches. If you overcrowd the pan the meat will stew not brown. Turn the beef constantly until browned and caramelized on both sides. Don't over cook the the meat or it will be tough, as soon as its almost cooked through remove.
- Once cooked turn off the heat and plate immediately. Serve with a salad
Notes
- Optional – slice a hot green chili and soak in 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. This can be used as a spicy condiment.
