Sesame Beef Salad
March 11, 2007 dressings, mains, red meat, salad
I vary my Asian style salads each time by varying the dressing to suit my mood. I’ve decided to post this one because it looks so nice – but it’s generally very basic and easy to whip up during the week for one.
I think the rocket makes this salad a bit rougher. Some might think it is all very unusual – but I really liked it.
Serves: 1
Prep: 5 min
Cook time: 7 min
Ingredients:
1 small piece of rump stake
1 carrot
A handful of baby rocket and baby spinach
1 Lebanese cucumber
Dressing:
1 teaspoon of peanut oil
1 teaspoon of sesame oil
2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon of soy sauce
1 clove of garlic finely chopped
Sesame seeds to serve
1. Wash your salad leaves and leave to dry off a little while you begin to cook your rump.
2. Place a little olive oil into a hot pan and fry (or grill if you have one!) the stake for 3 or so minutes each side before resting for three minutes. Of course it will depend on how you like your stake cooked. I have mine medium rare.
3. During this time you will have been able to peel and slice your carrot and cucumber.
4. While resting the beef make the dressing by combining the above ingredients
5. Finely slice the stake into strips to serve and bring all of the ingredients together and gently mix through the salad and dressing.
6. Plate and serve with sprinkles of sesame seeds.
