Ginger Shakin’ Beef (Jamie Oliver)

Serves 2               Total: 16 minutes

10 oz      Strip Loin (about ¾” thick)

1 ½ “      Fresh Gingerroot

1 TBS     White Miso Paste (Brookshires in Asian Dept)

2 Tsp      Honey

1 TBS     Red Wine Vinegar

2 small  Bok Choy (or romaine lettuce-option 2)

S & P to taste

Olive oil

Pull the fat off of the strip loin, finely slice the fat, and place it in a cold non-stick frying pan.  Put on a medium –high heat to crisp up

Peel and matchstick the ginger, then add the ginger and let it crisp up too.

Cut off any sinew from the loin, then dice the steak into 1 ¼ “ chunks and toss with the miso until well coated.

Scoop the crispy fat and ginger out and set aside.

Add the steak to the pan.  Cook 4 minutes tossing regularly, then drizzle in the honey and red wine vinegar, toss for 1 more minute until shiny and sticky.

Meanwhile, halve the bok choy, cook in a pan of boiling water for just 1 minute, so they retain a bit of crunch, drain well and place on plates.  Top the Bok choy with the steak and sticky juices from the pan and top with the reserved crispy bits.

Option 2:

Heat a grill or griddle to high – 1-2 hearts of romaine lettuce – cut in half.  Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.  Grill for 30-45 seconds.  Remove from heat, plate and serve as above. (this is my fav)
