Sesame Beef with Snow Peas.



So what your beef? Wow thats lame. For the fam tonight I cooked a sesame beef stir fry. It was simple, and cheap. The whole thing cost me less than $2 per serve. (6 or more). Here's how:
Ingredents:
200g Soba noodles. (Thin wheat noodle).
1kg peice of rump beef steak.
About 20 snow peas.
1 onion.
1 large carrot.
6x2x2 cm peice of fresh ginger.
4 cloves of garlic.
1 tbl spoon of sesame seeds.
Oyster sauce.
Sesame oil.
Peper.
Method:
You can prep the vegtables how ever you want. Just make sure they are all about the same size. Here I cut into even strips. (Julienne). Finely chop the ginger and garlic. While the meat is resting, cook the noodles. Drain, rince, and set aside.
Cook the beef according to the method discribed in the 'High Steaks' posting in this blog. Once rested cut into thin strips. Set aside.
Useing a very powerful burner heat your wok to very hot. Splash in some seseme oil. Toss in the onion, stir fry for about 45 seconds. Add the carrot and cook for about 30 seconds stiring constantly. Now add the snow peas, ginger, garlic, and sesame seeds, along with a further splash of sesame oil. Fry for another 30 seconds. Pour in the strips of beef along with any juices from resting. At the same time add the noodles and a few splashes of oyster sause. Toss the whole lot through with a little more oil, and several cracks of peper.
Eat with a clear light bodied ale.


Agian I feel compelled to repeat myself by saying:
"This dish has few ingredients. Together they will combine in a beautiful way. Don't be tempted to go over board with the oyster sauce, or any other ingredient. the key to this dish is a fine balence of all the flavors. Allso, remember that all the flavors should distinguished from one another aswell. I know that sounds a bit contradictory.
In essence. Simple flavors are a sum of parts, yet each, parts of a whole flavor".

Thanks for being a part of my blog.............
