Sesame Beef Wrapped in Salad

Ingredients

(Prepared for 6)

• 500 g beef, fat removed & thinly sliced
• 60 g fresh salad (about 6 individual leaves)
• Blend Together :
  10 g (1 whole) red onion
  20 g (4 cloves) garlic
  3 g (~1 tsp) black pepper seeds
  10 g (½ inch) ginger
• 30 ml (~2 spoons) dark soy sauce
• 10 ml (~2 tsp) sesame oil
• 10 g (~1 tbsp) baked sesame seeds
• 30 ml (~2 tbsp) honey
• 15 ml (~1 tbsp) cooking oil
• 125 ml (½ cup) water
• 2 whole spring onions, finely chopped
• Add salt to taste

Method

1. Cut the beef into thin slices. Poke the slices a few times with a fork to tenderise it.
2. Using a bowl, mix the beef slices with the ingredients you have blended and add in some honey, dark soy sauce, sesame oil and salt to taste. Allow it to marinate for a day or an hour at least inside the refrigerator.
3. Heat the cooking oil in a pan. Add in all the marinated ingredients into the pan and cook for about 2 minutes. Pour in ½ a cup of water and reduce the heat to a simmer and allow it to cook until the beef is succulent and tender. Keep adding in water until the beef is cooked.
4. Add everything from the pan into a clean bowl and sprinkle some chopped spring onions and baked sesame seeds on top.
5. Add about 2 tbsp of the cooked beef on each individual salad leaf and roll the salad firmly but carefully.
6. Dish is ready and best served hot.

Nutrition Tips:

• Red meat is a good source of iron and is easily absorbed by the body compared to iron from vegetables.
• Choose to remove fat from the beef slices to reduce the amount of fat in your diet.
