"Raging Bull" Spicy Beef Topside Salad

Sunday, July 11, 2010 - Posted by Spoon and Chopsticks

Today is the final of the World Cup 2010. I am really excited. I wanted to create a dish that shows the World Cup fever. I have named this dish "Raging Bull" and tried to use plenty of redness and spiciness to portray the fighting spirit of the Spanish team.

Whoever wins, it's going to be a great game to watch.

Ingredients:

400g Beef Topside
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 red capsicum, chopped
7-8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
2 tablespoon sesame seeds, finely powdered (Use grinder to make sesame powder)
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
2 tablespoon of olive oil
2 teaspoons chilli powder (or as taste)
Salt as taste
A pinch of turmeric powder
3 tablespoons of water
3-4 cloves of garlic, chopped
Small piece of ginger, chopped

Preparation:

Thinly slice beef topside and boil until the meat is soft.
Let the meat cool. Tear the meat apart in small pieces. You should be able to tear the meat once it is properly boiled.
Heat olive oil in a pan and lightly fry garlic and ginger. When they are lightly browned, add onion and capsicum and fry until they are little soft. You don't need to make them brown.
In a deep salad bowl mix the meat, fried onion, capsicum, ginger and garlic.
Add sesame oil, sesame powder, salt, chilli powder and turmeric powder. Mix all the ingredients properly with your hand. Add 3 tablespoons of water in order to keep the salad moist.
Add cherry tomatoes and toss lightly.
