Jamie Oliver Asian Beef Salad Food

ASIAN CRISPY BEEF

Steps:

• Lightly toast the peanuts in a dry frying pan, then crush in a pestle and mortar and put aside. Peel and finely chop the garlic and ginger.
• Put 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and the star anise into the frying pan on a medium-high heat. Add the mince, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, followed by half the garlic and ginger and the honey. Stir-fry for 5 minutes to crisp up and get golden brown.
• Meanwhile, crush the remaining garlic and ginger into a paste in the pestle and mortar, then muddle in the fish and soy sauces and lime juice to make a dressing.
• Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions.
• Trim the spring onions, then finely slice with the chilli (deseed if you like). Prep the salad veg, breaking the lettuce leaves apart and matchsticking or finely slicing any crunchy veg so it's all a pleasure to eat.
• Load up your plates with that lovely salad veg, then drain and add the noodles. Spoon over the dressing, sprinkle over the crispy beef, chilli, spring onions and crushed peanuts, pick over the coriander leaves and tuck in.

CRUNCHY THAI SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the noodles as normal and prepare all the vegetables while the noodles are cooking. When they are done rinse under cold water and add to the salad.;
• Mix all of the ingredients together in a jam jar, shake and pour over the salad. Garnish with cashew nuts or sesame seeds.;

SEARED ENCRUSTED CARPACCIO OF BEEF

Steps:

• Pound the coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar, then mix the chopped rosemary, salt, pepper and oregano and sprinkle on a board or work surface. Roll and press the fillet of beef over this, making sure the meat is completely covered with the coating. In a very hot, ridged pan, or on a barbecue, sear off the meat for around 5 minutes until brown and slightly crisp on all sides. Remove from the pan. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing as thinly as possible and lay the sliced beef on a large plate. Gather the ginger slices and slice finely across into little delicate matchsticks. Flick these randomly over the beef with the chiles, radishes and coriander. Drizzle with a very small amount of sesame oil, some soy sauce and freshly squeezed lime juice.;

BEEF WITH SOY SAUCE AND GINGER

Steps:

• On a very hot griddle pan, cook your seasoned piece of sirloin steak until medium or to your liking. Place in a plate and allow to rest for 2 minutes.
• Now cook your greens in salted boiling water until tender.
• While hot, douse with a good couple of tablespoons of soy sauce, and sprinkle with the garlic, ginger, chilli, lime juice and olive oil.
• When the greens are cooked, simply divide onto two plates, thinly slice up the sirloin steaks, place on top of the greens and drizzle with any of the infused sauce left on the resting plate.

ASIAN BEEF SALAD

Steps:

• Soak the rice noodles according to pack instructions. Whisk together the soy sauce, lime, ginger and oil in a large serving bowl. Drain the noodles well, then tip into the bowl. Cut the beef into bite-size pieces then add to the bowl along with the remaining ingredients. Toss everything together, then serve.

ASIAN STYLE DRESSING- FROM JAMIE OLIVER'S WINTER SALAD WITH DUCK

Steps:

• Juice two limes into a bowl big enough for you to whisk your dressing.
• Add the olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, and sugar to the bowl.
• Grate the small chili (red pepper flakes may be substituted here) and the garlic clove over the bowl into your dressing.
• Whisk together.
• Finely chop the scallion tops and cilantro and stir into dressing.

ASIAN NOODLE SALAD WITH CASHEWS

Steps:

• Mix together salad ingredients. I don't usually measure, I just keep add as much as I want of each ingredient until it looks like the picture.
• Put dressing ingredients in a jar. Shake well and pour over salad. You can also add jalapenos to the dressing if you like it spicy.
• Mix with tongs or hands and serve in a large pasta bowl. I always use my hands to mix this. It's so much easier.
• As a side salad it probably serves more like 8 - 10. But if this is all you're eating then it will serve 4 - 6.
