Waterfall beef salad Recipe

Waterfall beef salad

INGREDIENTS:
1 to 2 sirloin steaks, depending on the amount of meat you prefer

MARINADE:
2 Tbsp. oyster sauce
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. lime or lemon juice
2 Tbsp. brown sugar

FOR SALAD:
1 large bowl salad greens
1 cup bean sprouts
handful of fresh mint or basil leaves, lightly chopped or torn
1 cup fresh coriander
1 cup fresh papaya, cubed or cut into spears (for papaya tips, see below)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, left whole or sliced in half

DRESSING:
1-2 Tbsp. fish sauce (available at Asian food stores)
3 Tbsp. lime or lemon juice
1+1/2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. toasted and ground sticky rice, OR 2 Tbsp. ground peanuts

DIRECTIONS:
1. Mix marinade ingredients together in a cup or bowl, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour over the steak(s), turning meat to coat. Set in the refrigerator to marinate.

2. For the ground sticky rice (instead of peanuts): Place 2 Tbsp. uncooked sticky rice in a dry frying pan over medium-high heat. Stirring continuously, dry-fry the rice until it starts to pop and is lightly toasted. Remove rice from the pan and allow to cool slightly before grinding it up with a coffee grinder, or pounding into a powder with pestel & mortar.

3. Combine all dressing ingredients together in a cup or mixing bowl, stirring until sugar dissolves (adjust fish sauce according to your desired level of saltiness). Then prepare your bowl of greens and other salad ingredients.

4. Grill the steak over a hot grill, turning only once or twice to retain the juices (meat should still be pink in the center).

5. If Oven-Broiling the Steak: Set oven to BROIL setting. Place steak on a broiling pan OR on a foil or parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place in oven on second-to-highest rung. Broil 5-7 minutes per side, or until steak is well done on the outside but still pink on the inside.

6. While steak is cooking, toss the salad with the dressing. Taste-test for salt, adding more fish sauce if not salty enough, or more lime juice if too salty for your taste.

7. When ready to serve, portion out salad onto serving plates or bowls. Slice the steak as thinly as you can and top each portion with a generous amount of sliced sirloin.

Root Salad with Red Wine Recipe

Root Salad with Red Wine

The root vegetables here works so well, but you are free to mix the veggie. Just be sure to not have too many sweet veggies like carrots and parsnips, or too many sharp ones, like radishes or turnips.

INGREDIENTS:
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp sugar
¼ cup red wine vinegar
1 cup chopped parsley
¼ cup olive oil
2 large carrots
2 medium parsnips
1 small celery root
½ daikon radish

DIRECTIONS:
1. Put the mustard, salt, sugar, vinegar and parsley in a blender and process until combined, about 15 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the blender, cover and process at its slowest setting. Drizzle in the olive oil slowly. Then, move the blender to its highest setting and puree for about 1 minutes.

2. Peel all the veggie except for the radishes, if you are using black ones. The slivers of black in the salad look cool. Using a vegetable peeler or a coarse grater, slice shreds off the vegetables into a bowl. Try to keep the shreds roughly the same length if you can.

3. To finish, toss some of the vinaigrette with the shredded vegetables and let stand in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving.
