what do you do with meat that ain't looking too good (ie you know its edible but not quite in its prime...probably cos i'd bought it as a 'clearance item' from woolworths)? you marinate it with spices and be generous with it. bet it's what spices were used for in pre-fridge days (read: spice trade). besides, i like grilling cos it's easy to clean up afterwards, just wrap up the foil and chuck it into the bin. following recipe's for 4 slices of 1-cm thick beef steak. i grilled it on top of celery sticks (they were on sale too 2 big bunches for $2), so yah lazy me won't need to whip up the celery as a separate veg dish.
ingredients:
- 4 slices of 1-cm thick beef steak
- celery sticks/ any vegs that can be grilled. i think brinjals and boiled beans may actually work well too. but use apples for pork.
- 3 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1-2 tbsp sugar
- light soy sauce to taste
- chopped onions (half onion), would be great if i've had lemon grass too.
- pepper
- 3 tbsp curry powder (with chilli powder optional)
- sesame seed oil
- marinate beef with all the condiments & spices & chopped onions. set aside for 15 minutes.
- lay chopped celery sticks/ whatever vegs on foil
- lay marinated beef on vegs. make sure there is space between beef n foil so that the juice+oil from the beef will help cook the veg when the grill kicks in
- preheat grill at abt 120'C
- grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side. onions will give off its fragrance, once u smell that, can flip. grill till u are happy with the caramelisation on the beef. i had the beef in the grill longer at abt 6 minutes on 1 side n 4 min on the other cos i wanted it well done
- serve with the grilled veg (shld be crunchy still) & rice
