At lunchtime today, I had one of my favourite simple meals. So I thought I'd shared the recipe.

It's ideal if you're at work all day and don't want to slave over the cooker when you get home.
This is fresh, full of goodness, my kind of "fast food" and best of all everything is available at the Migros/COOP.


Preparation time: 5-10 minutes. Cooking-time: 10 minutes (Rice).

Basically, you'll need:

1. A nice piece of beef (Huftsteak).
   (I don't eat too much meat, so around 100-150gm/person).
2. Fresh Ginger, about 5cm long
3. A couple of cloves of fresh garlic.
4. Nice fresh spring onions.
5. Soya Sauce and 1 teaspon sugar.
6. Basmati Rice.
7. Oyster sauce (weird mix? Trust me.).
8. A nice person to share this with before going to the cinema.

Preperation (5-10 minutes).

1. Slice the beef into fairly thin slices. I like really thin (2-3mm) so it cooks quicker.
2. Dito with the ginger and the garlic.
3. Now, layer the beef and ginger/garlic in a small dish. alternating as you go.
   (The ginger and garlic gives the off it's fulll flavour and aroma to the beef.)
4. Mix the oyster and soya sauce with the teaspoon of sugar.
   (You want enough to just cover the meat, garlic and ginger).
5. Cover the meat with the sauce and place in the fridge overnight.
   (if you don't have too much time, then 30 minutes will do).

Cooking time (10 minutes):

1. Cook your rice as per the instructions on the packet and leave to stand.
2. Wash and slice the spring onions - long diagonally cut slices löök really nice.
3. Place a little oil (I use Rapsöl) in a pan.
4. Take the beef, ginger and garlic out of the fridge and place it into the hot pan.
5. Just as the the meat has finished cooking, throw in the onions.
6. Cook for a further minute.

Serving:

I simply place the wok/pan on the table with a bowl of rice. You may want to remove the ginger before you serve. But I leave it in for decoration.

Enjoy!
