Grilled Beef Thai Style Salad.

This recipe takes some time to make but is simply delicious...

So lets get started without further ado. :)

I will begin by listing the ingredients and then explain the how to cook it!

Ingredients

• 1 pound top-round London broil or flank steak, about 1 to 1 1/2-inches thick
• 3 tablespoons lime juice, divided
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 1/2 teaspoons minced ginger
• 1 1/4 teaspoons red curry paste or chili-garlic sauce
• 1/2 head red-leaf lettuce, torn (about 6 cups)
• 3 shallots, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup), divided, for garnish
• 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, rinsed and dried
• 1 cup basil leaves, sliced into ribbons

Now for the detailed instructions. ;)

Rinse and pat the meat dry. Place in a sealable plastic bag or small glass dish.

In a medium bowl combine 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, soy sauce, canola oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and red curry paste. Pour half the mixture into the bag with the meat.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice to the bag. Seal tightly, and marinate meat in refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.

Reserve the rest of the mixture refrigerated, to dress the salad. Spray grill or grill pan with cooking spray and preheat.

Grill steak until medium-rare, about 5 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. Let rest until room temperature then slice thinly against the grain.

Combine lettuce, sliced shallot, cilantro, basil and beef in a salad bowl, reserving a few shallots for garnish. Add the reserved dressing and toss to coat.

Divide salad among 4 plates and garnish with reserved sliced shallots.

Open a bottle of fresh white wine and enjoy it with some friends... ;)

Almost forgot, a little spin to the recipe, you can also add some tomatoes to the mix...

Cool Bacon, Beef, Sweet Corn and Green Peppers Pizza

Today guess what?

I have a another awesome and delicious Pizza Recipe!

This time we are going to make a delicious Pizza with Bacon, Beef, Sweet Corn and Green Peppers!
 

Ingredients

For the base

• 300g strong bread flour.
• 1 tsp instant yeast (from a sachet or a tub).
• 1 tsp salt.
• 1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling.

For the tomato sauce

• 100ml passata.
• Handful fresh basil or 1 tsp dried.
• 1 garlic clove, crushed.

Toppings

• 125g ball mozzarella, sliced.
• 125g of Bacon.
• 125g of Beef.
• 50g of Sweet Corn.
• 50g of Green Peppers.
• Handful grated or shaved parmesan.

Preparation

Make the base:

Put the flour into a large bowl, then stir in the yeast and salt.
Make a well, pour in 200ml warm water and the olive oil and bring together with a wooden spoon until you have a soft, fairly wet dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins until smooth.
Cover with a tea towel and set aside.
You can leave the dough to rise if you like, but it’s not essential for a thin crust.

Make the sauce:

Mix the passata, basil and crushed garlic together, then season to taste.
Leave to stand at room temperature while you get on with shaping the base.

Roll out the dough:

If you’ve let the dough rise, give it a quick knead, then split into two balls.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into large rounds, about 25cm across, using a rolling pin.
The dough needs to be very thin as it will rise in the oven.
Lift the rounds onto two floured baking sheets.

Top and bake:

Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C /gas 8.
Put another baking sheet or an upturned baking tray in the oven on the top shelf.
Smooth sauce over bases with the back of a spoon.
Scatter with bacon, beef, sweet corn, green peppers and cheese, drizzle with olive oil and season.
Put one pizza, still on its baking sheet, on top of the preheated sheet or tray.
Bake for 8-10 mins until crisp.
