All Easy Recipes. Cook all that you can cook. Rare Beef With Lime
 
The title on this one is a little misleading since the beef is not just rare, it is raw. Marinating the meat in the lime juice almost cooks it, and the result is fresh-tasting and delightful. Do not be reluctant to try this dish. It is even better than steak tartare.

What You Need:            (To Serve: 6)

  • 1 pound sirloin-tip roast, sliced paper thin

    MARINADE
  • ½ teaspoon peanut oil
  • 2 tablespoons dried minced onion flakes
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ½ cup peeled and thinly sliced yellow onion
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

    GARNISH
  • Chopped scallions
  • Chopped dry-roasted peanuts
  • Fried onion flakes
  • Fresh coriander leaves
  • Lime wedges

    • How To Cook:
    1. Slice the meat very thin. For easy slicing, just freeze a boneless roast until it is very firm but not hard. Or have your butcher do it.

    2. First, prepare the fried onion flakes for the marinade and the garnish. Heat a small frying pan and add ½ tablespoon peanut oil.

    3. Put in 2 tablespoons of dried onion flakes and toast over medium heat until the onions are a light brown.

    4. Drain on paper towels and place in a sealed jar. They will keep in the refrigerator for several days and they make a great garnish.

    5. Combine the ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl. Mix well and add the meat. Toss a couple of times, cover, and place in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.

    6. Arrange the meat on a cold platter and top with the garnishes. The dish can be eaten with rice paper wrappers (see TIP) or with rice.

    TIP:
        ON PREPARING RICE PAPER WRAPPERS. These round rice wrappers can be found in large Oriental or Thai/Vietnamese markets. They come dried. TO SERVE: Place a moistened kitchen towel on the counter and put a few sheets of rice paper on the towel. Do not let them overlap. Spray them on both sides with a plant sprayer and allow them to soak up the water for a few minutes. Prepare only the amount you need. They are not reusable. Do not let them sit too long or they will become soggy. When they are soft they are ready to serve. The wrappers come in several sizes, so choose the one that is the most convenient for a particular dish.
