Chilli,ginger steak with pickled cucumbers

By Hannah Lewry
4
Easy
20 minutes plus marinating time
10 - 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 125 ml soya sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 t fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 T runny honey
  • 65 ml canola oil
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 2 large free-range sirloin steaks
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 65 ml rice wine vinegar
  • 1 t caster sugar
  • 1\\\\2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 fresh chilli, seeded and sliced
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced

Method

Marinate the steaks in the soya sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, canola oil and lemon juice for at least 30 minutes.

Place the cucumber in a bowl, mix the rice wine vinegar and caster sugar and pour over the cucumber. Add the red onion and set aside while you cook the steaks.

Place a griddle pan or non-stick pan over a very high heat and, when hot, sear the fat of the sirloin for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then turn and cook on both sides for 4 to 5 minutes, or until cooked your preference. Remove from the heat and set aside to rest.

Pour any remaining marinade into a small saucepan and simmer over a medium to low heat for 1 minute, or until slightly thickened.

Slice the steaks and mix with the reduced marinade.

Serve on a large platter with the crunchy pickled cucumber and onion and scatter over the chilli and spring onion.
