Beef Shabu-Shabu Salad with Yuzu and Tomato Dressing

Hello how are you everyone?

It is getting warmer in Australia. The other day I bought some organic salad mix and radish at the market, so I thought I would make a Japanese shabu-shabu salad, something refreshing but filling for my husband.

What is Shabu Shabu?
Shabu-shabu is a Japanese Nabe dish. Bite-sized pieces of thinly sliced ingredients are cooked by dipping them into boiling water or broth simmering in a pot on the table, and then dipped into a small bowl of sauce. The sauce is usually ponzu (Japanese citrus juice) or sesame sauce

This time, instead of a hot-pot dish, we’re going to make a dish where the meat is quickly boiled and served on top of a salad with a dressing. Shabu-shabu salad is very popular in Japan and is often eaten at home. Sometimes the salad and meat are served on top of cold Udon noodles with sauce. Popular sauces includes sesame sauce and soy-based sauces.

What you need for this recipe
Thin sliced shabu shabu cut beef from Asian supermarkets
Yuzu Jam– Asian supermarkets or you can use orange jam.
Soy sauce- Supermarkets or Asian shops.
Rice vinegar-Supermarkets or Asian shops (I like to use rice vinegar because I found it’s not as sharp a taste. If you prefer a sharper taste other such vinegars like apple or to your liking can be used.

What is Yuzu?

Yuzu is a type of citrus fruit classified in the tangerine family. It is a member of the tangerine, lemon, sudachi, and kabosu family, and has a distinctive fresh aroma and sour taste.
Because of its strong acidity and hard peel, yuzu is not often eaten as-is like mandarin oranges.
However, the juice, peel, and of course the fruit itself can be used in a variety of dishes, and is attracting attention not only in Japanese cuisine but also in France and other countries.

 

Tips for this recipe
• Make the dressing ahead of time.
• Soak the salad in water for 5-10 minutes to crisp it up.
• When boiling the meat, spread the meat out one piece at a time for about 15-20 seconds. When the meat is no longer reddish, remove the meat from the hot water and immediately place in cold water. Putting the meat into the cold water stops it cooking further and becoming chewy.
• After chopping the onion, sprinkle salt on it and let it sit for about 5 minutes. This will eliminate the pungent taste of the onion.
• Keep the tomato seeds, you can use it for making tomato sauce or soup. If you don’t want to use soon, put them in the freezer.

Mother’s taste Nikujaga- potato and beef stew with Dashi

Hello! How are you everyone?

Nikujaga is Meat and potatoes are a staple dish for Japanese people.
It is also called “mother’s taste” in Japan.
It is a dish that has been around for a long time and is probably one of the dishes passed down from mother to daughter.
These days, many households make it simply by using dashi (soup stock) powder instead of soup stock.
This is probably due to the fact that they are both working and have little time to cook.
However, I would like to introduce a delicious Nikujaga using a freshly made dashi.
Please refer to the previous article on how to make dashi using a teapot.

What you will need this time
Potato
Carrot
Onion
Konjac noodles (You can buy at Coles or Asian shops).
Beef thin sliced (You can buy at Asian shops, and they are already sliced). called shabu shabu style beef.
Soy sauce, Sake, Mirin. (You can buy at Asian ships or sometime find them at Woolworth or Coles)

Beef shabu shabu style cut from asian shops
Shirataki-konjac noodles from asian shops

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tip for making Nikujaga
Choose thin beef with a good amount of fat.
The amount of fat in beef used for Nikujyaga is crucial.
Too much fat will result in a greasy texture, while too little will result in a bland texture.

Sautee ingredients before simmering. Although nikujaga is a stewed dish, the process of adding water and simmering is only the “finishing touch.
By sautéing the ingredients first, it prevents them from falling apart. It also adds a savory flavour.

Remember stewed dishes have more flavour the next day.

Beef dish Dinner menu Mexican With beer!

Chill Colorado. So good you’ll want to cook it again!

Hello
Do you like Mexican food? YES! I loooove Mexican food and chilli. I went to shopping one day recently and I saw bargain on a slow cooker. I’ve always wanted one so I bought it.
I was thinking what to make with it? I ‘ve never liked beef brisket, I prefer steaks, but I wanted to use the slow cooler so I deicide to make Chilli Colorado (Mexican stew).
As you know stews and chilis are always better the next day, so I made this stew and next day, ate it with my husband and a friend. It was so good I think better than authentic chilli Colorado 😜.

Here is what you need.

Guajillo
Arbol
Ancho
(Those chilis, you can buy at Amazon au.)

Beef brisket – you can buy at supermarkets or butcher. I used it for this recipe, but you can use any cut you like such as chuck, short ribs etc. Slow cooked stews are a great way to use cheaper cuts of beef.

Beef stock- you can buy at supermarkets. You can use chicken stock or vegetables stock.

Here are tips for chilli Colorado.

• When you remove chilli seeds use gloves for safety. If don’t use any gloves, do not touch sensitive areas such as face, eye, nose, lips etc.

• Cook chilis with beef stock and once boiled, turn off the heat and cover with the lid. Leave 30mins to soften the chilis.

• When blending the chilis with beef stock, if not enough moisture, use a couple of teaspoons of the beef stock from the 750ml.

• Marinate the meat, some recipes use just salt and pepper, that’s ok, but if you marinade with spices you’ll have more flavour in your dish.

• Seal the meat with a high heat. The reason for sealing the meat before boiling is that the cooking process locks in the flavour. If the meat is boiled as it is, the flavour of the meat will be released into the soup. However, by sealing it once, the meat is covered with a keloid-like membrane. This allows the meat to absorb the flavour of the broth while retaining the flavour of the meat during the simmering process.

• When meat is grilled and then braised, it has the advantage of increasing the flavour of the meat dish. If you grill the meat so that it browns a little, you will be able to take advantage of its aroma when you cook it. It also removes the raw smell of the meat better than when it is first cooked.

If you don’t have a slow cooler
Use a pot (Enough cover meat and beef stock size) simmer for 6-7 hours with a lid.

How to make Beef Tataki-ニンニクがきいた牛たたき!

Tataki in Japanese is actually a preparation method where salt is basically beaten in to
meat or fish. To add to the confusion “Tataki” is also used for a minced fish dish. When I was a kid, my grandmother used make tataki using mackerel or sardines. She would get fresh sashimi grade mackerel from the fish markets, not the supermarket. She would clean the fish then mince it with a knife and add miso paste, spring onions, and ginger. It was so good and really grew my love of fish.
In another method fishermen would beat salt in to freshly caught bonito to seal the surface before eating. Very popular in Japan is fresh bonito tataki which is sashimi grade bonito and filleted and skewered then sealed over a high heat. It’s then put in ice to cool before being eaten with sauce. It is, however, not beaten nor minced.

Sorry I went sideways, anyway, this dish is called Tataki, I researched why as I wanted to know myself. It doesn’t matter why it’s called Tataki, what matters is its delicious. hahaha😁
You can make it at home tonight for dinner with wine or Sake!

Step by Step to Slow Roasted Beef with Chimichurri Sauce

Hello!!

Would you like roast beef tonight?

Slow roasted beef but not over cooked, beautiful pink inside but not too rare.

Perfect roast beef for your dinner.

beef rump

About beef

Aussie beef is usually either grass and grain fed. Grass fed beef is a leaner, tougher meat compared other countries beef with less fat and a strong aroma. Grain fed beef has more marbling and is more tender. I like grain fed beef as it tends to melt in your mouth. My husband didn’t like Japanese Wagyu beef initially because it was too fatty for him having grown up on Australian beef. He likes it now after living in Japan for 8 years and getting used to the way it’s cooked and eaten there. When I buy beef I always check how much fat there is.

roasted beef


With this recipe even tough beef like rump will still come out juicy and tender. Roasted with a low heat and a chimichurri sauce made with garlic, lemon, and fresh herbs will bring smiles to your table. How about for next Christmas dinner? 😘 Of course just dinner is a good enough reason as well. 😘. When I’ve roast beef I’ve tried so many different ways but I found this method works well for any cut and comes out nice and juicy and still pink inside. It’s good hot both or cold. You can use gravy or beef jus or whatever sauce you use at home. I love beef with chimichurri because every bite you can taste fresh herbs, lemon, and garlic. Yummmmmmy😍.

chicmichurri sauce


Left over beef can be used the next day with fresh bread for a nice beef steak sandwich.

Tips for perfect roast beef
Before cooking beef you will need it to come up to room temperature. Why? If you cook beef straight from the fridge the muscle is tightened so it will end up quite tough. So, with beef, even steaks, let them relax and come up to room temperature before cooking. It only takes a few minutes though don’t leave them out all day in summer!
I roast my beef at 80-100 degrees and roast it for 90-120mins checking inside until the temperature is 58-65℃. Once done, don’t carve it straight from oven as the juices will run out from the cuts and you’ll end up with dry meat. Cover with foil and leave it rest about 30 mins to allow the juices to set and lock in the moisture.
