Units
Scale
- 8 oz (227 g) beef, like entrecôte or steak, thinly sliced
- 1 shallot (finely chopped)
- 1 clove (finely chopped)
- 2 fl oz (60 ml) soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 little gem (small lettuce)
- 1 red chili pepper (sliced)
- Coriander and rice (to serve with)
Instructions
- Mix the garlic, shallot, soy sauce, oil, ginger, and sugar together in a large bowl.
- Add the beef and marinate for at least one hour in the refrigerator.
- Heat a grill pan (or barbecue) to a high temperature and grill the beef for 30 seconds, or until rare/medium rare.
- Serve in little gem leaves with rice, garnished with coriander and chili pepper.
Notes
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the beef for at least 2-4 hours, or even overnight.
- If you don’t have a grill pan, you can pan-fry the beef over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side.
- To make it ahead, prepare the marinade and marinate the beef. Grill the beef just before serving to maintain its quality.
