Yakiniku Beef - FeedToBook.com
Yakiniku Beef Yakiniku Beef is a dish we first tried in the Maldives in 2011. It was Wagyu beef with a Yakiniku Sauce served in a teppanyaki restaurant. Chef Alfie first grilled a wonderful piece of beef (simple seasoned with salt and pepper) then added it to a sizzling platter and topped with this amazing dark sweet and savoury sauce. We loved the dish and its simplicity so we asked the Chef for the recipe. 1 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen The recipe is actually very similar to our Mongolian Beef recipe. In fact since we tried it with the hondashi seasoning we started making our Mongolian beef with that too. The hardest part of the ingredients was this hondashi seasoning which is a bonito fish based seasoning mix. 2 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen So the process is quite simple once you make the Yakiniku sauce. You simply grill the beef, slice it then top with the Yakiniku sauce. We used a sizzling platter which we heated up, then sautéed some vegetables before adding the beef and topping with the sauce. 3 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen This is the original dish served by chef Alfie, which we modified a little (we didnt have any black sesame seeds). 4 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen Yakiniku Beef Recipe Rate this RecipeNote: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it. Ingredients For the Yakiniku sauce 1 tsp sesame oil 1 tsp ginger purée 1 tsp garlic purée 1/2 cup Sake 1/2 cup mirin 1/2 cup Kikkoman Soy Sauce 2 tsp brown sugar 1 tsp honey 1/4 tsp chilli flakes 1/2 tsp hondashi seasoning Method To make the Yakiniku Sauce, first fry the ginger and garlic in 1 tsp sesame oil for 1 minute. Add the Sake and Mirin and cook for another 1 minute (high heat) 5 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for a further 2–4 minutes until the sauce is of a thick consistency. Check the flavour and add any more sugar/honey/salt as needed. Season your beef with salt and pepper and fry on a skillet or griddle pan over a very high heat for around 4–6 minutes (this depends on how you like your steak, but cook it for less time as it will continue to cook on the sizzle plate. Once the steak is done remove from the heat and allow to sit for 2 minutes, then slice into thick strips. If you are using a sizzling platter heat it in the oven then place on top of the hob. Add a knob of butter then your vegetables and allow them to cook for 2 minutes. Add the beef then pour over the yakiniku sauce and allow to cook and reduce for a further 2 minutes. If you are not using a sizzling platter then simple cook the vegetables in a wok or frying pan and add the beef to that. Serve and enjoy. 6 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen 7 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen Juicy Beef Burgers This might not be that exciting but every food website has to have a selection of burger recipe’s. We started with the tandoori beef & lamb burger, then our fried chicken burger recipe and here is our recipe a simple ”juicy” and very tasty beef burger. The secret to this burger is fish sauce, that smelly salty ingredient that is vile on its own but transforms a dish when used to flavour your ingredients. The fish sauce adds a wonderful savoury taste to any beef burgers and we highly recommend you try it. 8 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen These burgers also have a lot of fresh coriander in there so they feel quite fresh and light. Preparation is very simple and we recommend you make these in advance and put in the fridge or freezer so that they dont fall apart when cooking. Dont forget though to get quality steak meat to start off with. The basis to any great burger is great ingredients. 9 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen For a bit of fun we put cheese and jalapeño peppers in the centre of one of the burgers. This was something else (unfortunately we were too busy enjoying eating this to worry about taking photos of it..)! 10 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen We cooked our burgers on a skillet which adds a nice charring to the burgers and is probably the best way to get some caramelisation on these babies without using a barbeque.

Ingredients 400g lean beef mince 1 medium onion 1 tsp garlic purée Fresh coriander approx 40g 1/2 to 1 tsp Salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 1/4 tsp chilli powder 2 tsp fish sauce 11 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen 1 tsp worcestershire sauce Method Place the onion, garlic and coriander in a blender and blend to a semi-fine consistency. In a large bowl add the mince, the garlic, onion and coriander mix and the rest of the ingredients. Mix the ingredients well into the mince and get ready for shaping. Either shape the burgers by hand or use a burger press (or a weird egg poacher like we do). We do highly recommend you try adding cheese and jalapeño to the centre of the burgers. 12 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen 13 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen Place the burgers in the fridge for hour before frying in a skillet or grilling. 14 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen Moroccan Chicken Its been a while since we featured a Moroccan Recipe so we thought it was time to create a new recipe. This is a very simple recipe that takes less than an hour to prepare and only needs some simple ingredients. Your biggest flavour comes from Ras El Hanout which is a popular blend of moroccan spices (you can get this in most supermarkets). Ras El Hanout mainly smells like cinnamon with nutmeg with a variety of other flavours. 15 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen If you don’t have Ras El Hanout simply use a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper and some cloves if you have some. So down to the cooking. All you need are some chicken breasts (or any other cuts of chicken you like), marinade them in the Ras El Hanout spices and olive oil, then fry this to seal in the flavours. After that you make a slightly sweet & savoury tomato sauce, add the chicken and simmer. 16 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen The sauce has an exotic flavour because of the spices, but has a background sweetness brought out by the apricot jam which really brings out the flavours. As always you control the amount of chilli according to your taste buds. We served this with some simply steamed cous cous. 17 Created with FeedToBook.com - Original source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mongoliankitchen You can add all sorts of vegetables to accompany this dish including chickpeas, but in this case we just had chicken. Remember this is a quick recipe so there was no messing about with a tagine. It was done in a wok and ready in less than an hour!
