Steak & Sprouts

You see, I've got a couple of posts up my sleeve but like everything else on my plate these days, I'm at a loss for both actions and words.

  Have I not been eating enough brain food? Beats me. 

So I'm trying to compensate by posting these gorgeous step-by-step polaroid pictures. 

Recipe for the Brussels Sprouts is based on Momofuku.

Gotta love Momofuku.

For the Brussels Sprouts

Baby, baby, baby oh, BABY BRUSSELS SPROUTS.

Step 1: Rinse your sprouts.

Step 2: Chop the stem off and halve the sprouts.

Sprouts already cut.

Step 3: Stir fry the sprouts in a pan with some oil, ginger, and, garlic.

Transfer to a baking dish when they're amply browned and start to smell good.

Step 4: Bake in the oven for 200C for 10-15 minutes.

You'll know they're ready once they're tender.

Step 5: Mix together: 

2 tbsp fish sauce

1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

pinch of chili flakes (depends on your taste really)

sugar to taste

Get that whole sour-spicy-sweet balance going.

(for 500g Brussels Sprouts)

Step 6: Toss mixture with brussels sprouts.

Then you're all set to go.

For the Steak

Marinade in:

1 cup sesame oil (just for that Asian vibe)

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/3 cup red wine vinegar

1/4 cup lemon juice

3 tbsp worchestershire sauce

freshly ground pepper

Feel free to halve of quarter the marinade. 

All depends on the quantity of the steak anyway.

Grill the steak to your liking.

I always vote medium rare.

And.. Dinner is served!

Happy eating!

Ps. I had to muster all the concentration I could for this post.

Cause it's Stuvac, and I'm feeling the holiday vibe. 

I typed butt a couple of times when I was supposed to type cut.

Then steph when I meant step.

Periods when I wanted commas.
