Ingredients
- Aberdeen Angus frying steak 300g (11oz)
-
Chinese five spice powder ½ tsp
- Soy sauce 1 tbsp
- Savoy cabbage 1 small, cored and finely shredded
- Cashew nuts 50g (2oz)
- Vegetable oil 4 tsp
- Root ginger 2.5cm (1in) piece, unpeeled, grated
- Garlic 1 clove, peeled and grated
- Shallot 1, peeled and sliced
-
Dried chilli flakes ½–1 tsp
- Thai fish sauce 1 tbsp
- Lime 1, juice only
- Fresh coriander and mint leaves 25g (1oz), roughly chopped
Directions
- Put the steak on a plate and sprinkle with five spice powder then drizzle with soy sauce."
Put the cabbage into a colander over a large saucepan and pour a kettleful of boiling water over it. Leave to drain. Heat a wok or large frying pan. Add the cashews and toast for a few minutes, stirring, until just turning brown. Tip them out into a small dish. Add 2 teaspoons of oil to the wok and put over a high heat. Add the steak, reserving the marinade. Sear the meat for 1 minute on each side then set aside on a plate and keep warm. Put the pan back on the heat, add the remaining oil along with the ginger, garlic, shallot and chilli flakes. Stir-fry for 30 seconds then add the cabbage and stir-fry for 3 minutes until it starts to soften. Pour in the reserved marinade along with the fish sauce, lime juice and half the herbs. Spoon the cabbage onto a serving platter. Cut the steak into strips and arrange it on top, spooning on the meat juices. Scatter with cashews and the remaining herbs.
