Ingredients

ASIAN BEEF

  • 275g lean ground beef
  • 1½ teaspoons sesame oil
  • ½ egg, whisked
  • 2 teaspoons cornflour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon Asian beef spice mix

SLAW DRESSING

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 sachet lime ponzu dressing
  • 2-3 teaspoons finely grated ginger
  • Zest of ¼-½ lemon
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • ¾ teaspoon runny honey
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chopped, roasted peanuts
  • 1 tablespoon water

VERMICELLI SLAW

  • 100g mung bean vermicelli
  • ½ bag Japanese slaw

TO SERVE

  • 25g kimchi (optional)
  • ½ bag baby spinach leaves
  • ½ lemon cut into wedges (optional)

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Line an oven tray with baking paper. In a medium bowl, combine all Asian beef ingredients and mix together well. Place beef mixture on prepared tray and place another sheet of baking paper on top of the meat. Push down on the paper to flatten the beef out to about 0.5cm-thick. Remove top layer of baking paper and bake beef for 10-12 minutes, until it starts to get golden around the edges and beef is cooked through.
  2. Set beef aside to cool for 2-3 minutes. Once cooled enough to handle, carefully remove beef from tray, cut in half lengthways and thinly slice 1cm.
  3. While beef is cooking and cooling, make slaw dressing. Add all slaw dressing ingredients to a medium bowl, stir well to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Place vermicelli in a large, heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave to soak for 4 minutes, until tender, then drain. Use kitchen scissors to snip in a few places. Set half vermicelli aside (this is leftover). Reserve bowl. Toss vermicelli, Japanese slaw and half the slaw dressing in reserved bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Toss cooked and sliced Asian beef through remaining slaw dressing.
  6. TO SERVE spoon vermicelli slaw into bowls, along with Asian beef, kimchi (if using) and spinach. Squeeze over lemon wedges (if using).
