Beef and Greens with Miso Dipping Sauce Recipe

(serves 2)

Ingredients:

½ pound paper thin sliced lean beef or pork

1 cup leafy greens

1 stalk leek

1 small knob ginger, sliced

1 teaspoon olive oil

Dipping sauce:

1½ tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

2 tablespoons miso paste

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon mustard

How to cook beef slices

Wash vegetables well and cut into bite-sized pieces. Bring a pot of water to a boil, blanch vegetable stalks first and then the leaves. Turn off heat and drizzle in olive oil.

Drain the cooked vegetables and arrange them on a serving platter. Set aside.

Place about 4 cups of water in the same pot, add leek and ginger. Bring to a rolling boil. Cook a few slices of beef each time and then remove with a slotted ladle, making sure to drain the excess liquid from the cooked beef slices and then pile them on top of cooked vegetables.

Reserve about ½ cup of the cooking liquid for the dipping sauce and discard the rest.

Pulse toasted sesame seeds in a food processor or just grind with a pestle until about 75 percent ground.

To make the dipping sauce*, place sesame seeds, miso paste, sugar, rice vinegar, mustard, reserved cooking liquid in a bowl. Mix well until the sugar dissolved.

Chill cooked beef, vegetables and dipping sauce in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy!

*Dipping sauce can be refrigerated for 3 days.
