1 tablespoon heaping whole coriander, seeds, smashed
1 handful rosemary, finely, chopped
freshly ground black pepper and salt
light sprinkling dried oregano
3 1/2 pounds fillet of beef, buffalo, venison or elk
handful ginger, peeled, and, finely, sliced
3 red or green chili, seeded, and, finely, sliced
good handful radish, finely, sliced
small handful coriander, leaves, picked, stalks, finely, sliced
sesame oil
soy sauce, to taste
2 lime, juiced
1. 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.
2. Roll and press the fillet of beef over this, making sure the meat is completely covered with the coating.
3. 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.
4. Remove from the pan.
5. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing as thinly as possible and lay the sliced beef on a large plate.
6. Gather the ginger slices and slice finely across into little delicate matchsticks.
7. Flick these randomly over the beef with the chiles, radishes and coriander.
8. Drizzle with a small amount of sesame oil, some soy sauce and freshly squeezed lime juice.
Have you ever tried this with lamb, buffalo or wild game (vension, elk)? I would think it would work but watch cooking times since the game will be leaner than beef.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it with lamb, buffalo or game. I have only used tenderloin, the leanest cut, usually grass fed. I think it would be good with buffalo or game, even fish. For the dressing I squeeze a couple of limes and then pour the soy sauce and sesame oil around in circles on top of everything.
