    Korean Steak

    One of the best things about this dish is eating it; all the guests get to wrap up their own lettuce packages.

    Ingredients:
    • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 2 tablespoons minced, peeled fresh ginger
    • 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
    • 3 garlic cloves, crushed with garlic press
    • 1 beef top round steak, 1 inch thick (about 1 1/2 pounds)
    • 1 cup regular long-grain rice
    • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
    • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
    • 1 medium head romaine lettuce, separated into leaves


    Directions:

    1. In large self-sealing plastic bag, combine soy sauce, sugar, ginger, vinegar, sesame oil, ground red pepper, and garlic; add steak, turning to coat. Seal bag, pressing out excess air. Place bag on plate; refrigerate steak 1 to 4 hours to marinate, turning once.

    2. Just before grilling steak, prepare rice as label directs; keep warm.

    3. Remove steak from bag; reserve marinade. Place steak on grill over medium heat and cook 14 to 15 minutes for medium-rare or until of desired doneness, turning steak over once. Transfer steak to cutting board; let stand 10 minutes to allow juices to set for easier slicing.

    4. In 1-quart saucepan, heat reserved marinade and 1/4 cup water to boiling over high heat; boil 2 minutes.

    5. To serve, thinly slice steak. Let each person place some steak slices, rice, green onions, and sesame seeds on a lettuce leaf, then drizzle with some cooked marinade. Fold sides of lettuce leaf over filling to make a package to eat out of hand.

    Coleslaw

    1 head of cabbage
    1 cup sugar
    1 handful of salt and pepper
    1 cup yellow mustard
    2 cups white vinegar
    1/2 cup whole celery seeds
    1/2 cup crab seasoning
    1 jar mayonnaise
    2-3 squirts hot Thai sauce

    Slice the cabbage, making sure to remove the core, and place it in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine sugar, salt and pepper, whole celery seeds, crab seasoning, mayonnaise, yellow mustard and white vinegar. Whisk the mixture together until the sugar dissolves and there are no lumps. Then, add some Thai hot sauce and mix thoroughly before working it into the cabbage.

    For best results, allow the coleslaw to sit for a few hours or even a day so that the salt and sugar can break down the cabbage and really flavor it. dex Page
