Recipe - 385 Norths Tataki Of Beef (Marinated Beef)

1 One half teaspoon Grated ginger root
Three fourths teaspoon Grated garlic
One half cup Dark soy sauce
1 bn Chiso; (ooba leaf) julienned
One fourth cup Lime juice
14 ounce Culotte or New York steak
Pepper
2 tablespoon Peanut oil
Green onions; cut or sliced up

Combine ginger, garlic, soy sauce, chiso and lime juice in flat glass dish
just large enough to hold steak (read Ziplock baggie:) and set aside. Trim
steak to remove excess fat and season to taste with pepper on top and
bottom. Sear beef quickly in hot peanut oil on all sides over high heat.
Cook to rare stage only.

Place in dish with marinade and turn to coat well. Refrigerate, turning
occasionally, at least one hour. Steak should be very cold and firm before
slicing.

To serve, thinly slice diagonally. Sprinkle steak slices with thinly cut or sliced up
green onions cut on the bias and spoon small amount of marinade over, or
serve on a bed of julienned carrots, Chinese pea pods, or other thinly
cut or sliced up vegetables, if desired. Makes 4 sevings.

Note: Chiso or ooba is available in Oriental markets.
