Ingredients
Beef
- 500 g beef rump steak
- Use 6 metal or wooden skewers to assemble.
- 12 Makrut lime leaves (kaffir)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 small handful mint leaves
- 1 small handful fresh coriander
Asian slaw
- ¼ cabbage very finely sliced
- 2 carrots grated
- 4 spring onions trimmed and very finely sliced
- 3 handfuls mung bean sprouts
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds toasted
- 1 tsp optional nigella seeds
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
- 2 tsp soft brown sugar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp wasabi paste
Method
To make beef
- Soak wooden skewers in cold water for at least 20 minutes to help prevent burning during barbecuing.Keep them moving around the pan, cooking until they are lightly toasted.
- Preheat a barbecue until hot.
- Cut the beef into about 2.5cm pieces.
- Thread 3 pieces of beef onto the soaked skewers with the lime leaves.
- Mix together the oil and fresh herbs and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Brush liberally over the beef skewers.
- Place on the hot plate and cook for 5 minutes until the beef is cooked to medium-rare.
To make slaw
- Place the cabbage, carrots, spring onions, mung bean sprouts and sesame seeds in a large bowl.
- Combine the soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, sesame oil and wasabi in a small screw top jar and shake well.
- Drizzle over enough dressing to moisten the salad and toss well.
- Sprinkle over the black sesame or nigella seeds, if using.
To serve
- Place the Asian slaw on a large serving platter and top with the beef skewers.
- Scatter over the coriander and mint leaves. Scatter over the coriander and mint leaves.
Resting the eye fillet before serving allows the juices to be absorbed back into the meat. Do not overcook the fillet.
