Thin-sliced Beef Steak (Bisteeki Hilib) Steak de Boeuf tranché très fin

Thin-sliced Beef Steak (Bisteeki) Steak de Boeuf tranché très fin

The Japanese sukiyaki beef has a lot of history, but this sukiyaki-cut beef steak has a simple story. When you can’t afford expensive cuts of beef and you can’t be without steak, what is the solution? Well, you take a cheap cut of ungraded beef and you slice it very thin. Give the steaks a quick acid-based marinade and you’re in business. The marinade must be robust: garlic, cilantro, and fresh ground black pepper. Then add colourful veggies and it becomes a feast for the eyes. 

Somali butcher shops are familiar with these thin-sliced steaks and you could buy them ready-cut. If you don’t live near Somalis, Japanese, or any group that was let into this secret, and if your butcher is not willing to slice the beef this thin, don’t worry. Buy sirloin beef and partially freeze it. Then using a sharp knife, slice the beef as thin as possible. 

The steaks cook very fast and it’s important not to overcook them, otherwise they will become tough. They are best served immediately.

 

Le boeuf sukiyaki Japonais a une longue histoire, mais notre boeuf style sukiyaki a une histoire simple. Quand vous ne pouvez pas vous payer les meilleurs morceaux de boeuf et vous ne pouvez pas vous passer de boeuf, quelle est la solution? Et bien, Vous prenez un bas morceau de boeuf et vous le tranchez très fin. Passez le steak vite fait dans une marinade à base acide et l’affaire est dans le sac. La marinade doit être corsée: ail, coriandre et du poivre noir fraîchement moulu. Puis ajoutez des légumes colorés et cela devient un régal pour les yeux.

Les boucheries Somalis ont l’habitude de ces steaks tranchés très fins et on pouvez les acheter tous prêts découpés. Si vous n’habitez pas à proximité de Somalis, de Japonais, ou d’un groupe qui partage cette technique secrète, et si votre boucher ne veut pas trancher le boeuf aussi fin, ne vous inquiétez pas. Achetez de l’aloyau de boeuf et congelez-le partiellement. Puis armé d’un couteau bien tranchant, effilez le boeuf aussi fin que possible.

Les steaks cuisent très vite et il faut faire attention à ne pas trop les cuire, sinon ils deviennent coriaces. Ils sont meilleurs servis immédiatement.

 

Ingredients:

For the beef steaks:
1 lb.                           Beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
3                               Garlic cloves (minced)
1 Tbsp                        Vinegar
1/4 cup                       Olive oil
1 Tbsp                        Vegetable seasoning
2 Tbsp                        Cilantro (chopped)
1 tsp                          Black pepper (or to taste)

For the veggie topping:
1                               Onion (sliced)
2 Tbsp                        Olive oil
1 Tbsp                        Vinegar
1 tsp                          Sugar
1/4                            Green bell pepper
1/4                            Red bell pepper
1                               Carrot (small)

 

Ingrédients:

Pour les steaks de boeuf:
1 livre d’Aloyau de Boeuf (tranché fin)
3 Gousses d’Ail (hachées)
1 cs de Vinaigre
¼ de mesure (59 mL) d’Huile d’Olive
1 cs d’Assaisonnement Légumes
2 cs de Coriandre (haché)
1 cc de Poivre Noir (ou selon votre goût)

Pour la garniture de légumes:
1 Oignon (émincé)
2 cs d’Huile d’Olive
1 cs de Vinaigre
1 cc de Sucre
¼ de Poivron Vert
¼ de Poivron Rouge
1 Carotte (petite)

 

Directions:

Using a mortar and pestle, grind together the cilantro, minced garlic, and vegetable seasoning. Add the vinegar, black pepper and olive oil. Transfer the marinade to a bowl. 

Marinate the steaks on both sides and leave aside. You can refrigerate the marinated steaks for a day or two. The acidic marinade breaks down the connective tissue of the meat and tenderizes it.

Cook the meat for just 30 seconds on each side. Do not overcrowd the pan and move the steaks around to the hotter parts of the pan.

For the vegetable topping, saute the onions in olive oil, then add the vegetable seasoning. Add the vinegar and the sugar then add the sliced bell peppers and carrot. Turn off the heat while the vegetables have a bit of a crunch.

 

Instructions:

Avec un mortier et un pilon, écraser le coriandre, l’ail haché, et l’assaisonnement légumes. Ajouter le vinaigre, le poivre noir et l’huile d’olive. Transférer la marinade dans un bol.

Tremper les steaks dans la marinade en les recouvrant des deux côtés et laisser reposer. Vous pouvez réfrigérer les steaks marinés pendant un jour ou deux. L’acidité de la marinade attaque les tissus conjonctifs (ligaments et tendons) de la viande et l’attendrit.

Cuire la viande pendant juste 30 secondes de chaque côté. Ne surchargez pas la poêle et placez les steaks sur les parties les plus chaudes de la poêle.

Pour la garniture de légumes, faire revenir les oignons dans l’huile d’olive, puis ajouter l’assaisonnement légumes. Ajouter le vinaigre et le sucre puis ajouter les poivrons émincés et la carotte coupée en rondelles. Couper le feu quand les légumes sont cuits mais encore croquants.

    Just wanted to let you guys know that I enjoy your website very much. I have tried a few of your recipies and love it. BUT I have a question for you… what is the vegetable seasoning or what spices are in it? Where can I purchase it?
    Thanks again!

      Vegetable seasoning refers to a seasoning salt mix. We use Vegeta Seasoning Mix. It is similar to vegetable bouillon cubes (such as Knorr or Maggi). Thank you for the question.

      1 Tbsp Vegeta = 2 Maggi or Knorr cubes. It is also equivalent to 2 tsp salt.
