Chinese Braising Steak with Ginger

Chinese Braising Steak with Ginger

This is the 55th in our “100 Asian Recipe” gig. Yay we’ve broken the back of this little challenge. A lot of the recipes we’ve done have been ‘Street Food’ style and very quick. But this bit of Braising Steak for a little over £2 needed a more ‘Home Style’ slow cook method.

Ingredients:-

500g of Braising Steak, cut into large cubes
1 Onion, roughly chopped
20g of Ginger, sliced
2 Cloves of Garlic, sliced
A small bunch of Coriander, only the stalks., chopped
2 Tsp of Chinese Five Spice
6 Star Anise
1 Tsp of Black Peppercorns
50g of Brown Sugar
100ml Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
2 Tbsp Tomato Puree
500ml of Beef Stock
3 Tbsp of Oil

Method:-

(1) Heat a little Oil in a large frying pan. Add the Beef and fry until browned.
(2) Remove from the pan and set aside.
(3) Add the Onion, Ginger, Garlic and Coriander stalks to a food processor and chop to a paste.
(4) Add the paste to the frying pan.
(5) Add a splash of water and fry until fragrant. Adding more water in the paste begins to stick.
(6) Stir in the Five Spice, Star Anise and whole Peppercorns.
(7) Cook over a low heat for five minutes then add the Sugar, Soy Sauce and Tomato Puree.
(8) Return the Beef and stir in the Stock.
(9) Add everything to an oven proof dish and cover.
(10) Place in a pre-heated oven at 160c and cook for 2 ½ hours until the Beef is tender.
(11) Remove the Beef and keep warm.
(12) Add the sauce back to the frying pan and boil until it has reduced and thickened.
(13) return the beef and stir well.

We served ours over boiled Rice garnished with fried Ginger battons and sliced Spring Onions.

Tonkatsu Pork

We’re learning little snippets on information from our “100 Asian Recipes” gig, which is surely good for the mind? Tonkatsu is actually derived from two Japanese words - Ton “Pig, Pork” + Katsu “Cutlet”. Pretty descriptive really!

Ingredients Tonkatsu Sauce:-

70g of Tomato Ketchup
2 Tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tsp of Sugar
2 Tbsp of Soy Sauce
½ Tsp of Dijon Mustard
¼ Tsp of Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp of Rice Wine

Method:-

(1) Mix all the ingredients together!

Ingredients Tonkatsu Pork:-

400g of Pork Fillet, cut into pieces
2 Tbsp of Plain Flour (Gluten free for us)
2 Eggs
½ Tbsp of Oil
70g of Breadcrumbs (Gluten free for us)
Buttermilk
Japanese Seven Spice
Oil to fry
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) cover each piece of fillet top and bottom with cling-film and beat with a rolling pin to flatten.
(2) Season the Pork with Salt and Pepper then soak in Buttermilk for at least an hour in the fridge.
(3) Season the Flour with Japanese Seven Spice.
(4) Beat the Eggs and whisk in ½ a tablespoon of Oil.
(5) Remove the Pork from the Buttermilk and coat in the Flour.
(6) Dunk each piece of fillet in the Egg wash and finally coat in Breadcrumbs.
(7) Heat enough Oil in a large frying pan to deep fry the fillets.
(8) Cook on both sides until golden and crispy.

There is a British Pork offer on at the moment at a local supermarket. So this whole Pork Fillet cost us just over £2. A bit of a salad and some shredded White Cabbage are hardly bank breakers and we had everything else in store, as it were. Yesterday it was very hot and humid in the evening and this style of light dish worked really well.
