Sichuan steak

Prep time overnight
Cook time overnight
Serves 2
From Saturday Kitchen
This recipe is all in the preparation - marinate the meat and make the dressing in advance, then it takes just 10 minutes to fry the steak and chop the salad.

Method


  1. For the Sichuan marinade, place all the ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and add the steak. Marinade for 24 hours in the fridge.

  2. For the honey mustard vinaigrette, in a food processor, blend the spring onions, mustard, pickled ginger, lime juice, garlic, shallots, honey, soy sauce and ginger vinegar to a smooth paste. With the motor running, slowly add the oils in a thin steady stream until emulsified.

  3. For the Asian cabbage salad, combine all the ingredients in a large bowl.

  4. Remove from the fridge and wipe off the marinade. Allow the steak to come up to room temperature. When you are ready to cook the steak, heat a griddle pan until hot. Add the steak and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.

  5. To serve, gently toss the salad in the vinaigrette. Slice the steak and serve with the dressed salad.
