Beef Teriyaki with Cucumber Salad



This recipe is a favourite in my household, and comes from a huge book of salads called "Tossed".  I love pulling out this book when the weather starts warming up and rediscovering all the best recipes from last Summer.  This one is truly delicious!

Ingredients:
400g beef strips
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
2 cups white rice, cooked

Cucumber salad:
1 large Lebanese cucumber, diced
1 reg capsicum, diced
2 spring onions, sliced
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoons white wine vinegar

Method:
Combine soy sauce, mirin, garlic and ginger in a bowl and add beef.  Stir to coat.  Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

To make cucumber salad, combine the sugar and vinegar with 2 tablespoons of boiling water.  Pour over cucumber, capsicum and onions and cool in the fridge.

Stir-fry beef in a frying pan over medium heat until cooked through.  Serve with the salad and white rice on the side.
