Instructions
- Combine tamari, sambal, and vinegar in a big bowl.
- Shred the bok choy lengthwise. Add onion, mushrooms, and bok choy to the tamari dressing and toss until completely covered. Set aside while you prepare the meat.
- Brush the meat with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. Fry (or grill) the flank steak over high heat in a large frying pan for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired temperature. Cover and allow the meat to rest for a couple of minutes. Slice the meat in 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick slices diagonally.
- Combine the ingredients for the sesame mayonnaise.
- Serve the meat with the marinated vegetables and a generous dollop of sesame mayonnaise.
Tips
Instead of flank steak you can use minute steak or any other thinly sliced meat, such as pork or lamb. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
You can also use chicken fillet, salmon or fresh tuna if you wish!
Great idea, Andrea!
Mushrooms don't have a great direct substitute. You may wish to use a different side dish instead.
