*NOTE: YOU CAN CLICK EACH PHOTO TO SEE A MUCH BIGGER PICTURE.


INGREDIENTS:

4 beef steaks, about 150g/ 5 1/2oz each
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 bunch of pak choy (would be good too if you use beansprouts)
4 spring onions, trimmed and finely sliced
salt and pepper

TERIYAKI SAUCE:

2 tablespoon mirin (Japanese rice wine)
2 tablespoon sake or pale dry sherry
4 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon granulated or caster sugar


WHAT TO DO:


1.  Season the steaks with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
2.  For the sauce, combine the mirin, sake, soy sauce and sugar in a bowl, stirring well.
3.  Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a frying pan over a high heat.  Add the pak choy and fry quickly, tossing in the hot oil for 30 seconds.
4.  Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
5.  Add the remaining oil to the pan and, when hot, add the steaks.  Cook for 1-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
6.  Remove from the heat and add the sauce and spring onions.  Return to the heat and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly and is glossy.

Slice each steak and arrange on a bed of pak choy or beansprouts.  Spoon over the sauce and serve immediately.

*FOR THE BARBECUED PRAWNS... I JUST MARINATE IT WITH SPICY BARBECUE SEASONING AND ADD OLIVE OIL INTO IT.  THEN FRY IT WITH THE THE MARINADE FOR 2 MINUTES.

ENJOY!
