Instructions
- Mix tamari, sambal, and vinegar in a big bowl.
- Shred the bok choy lengthwise. Add onion, mushrooms, and bok choy to the tamari dressing and toss until completely covered. Let rest while you prepare the meat.
- Brush the meat with olive oil. Salt and pepper generously. Fry (or grill) the flank steak on high heat in a large frying pan for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired temperature. Cover and allow the meat to rest for a couple of minutes. Slice the meat in 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick slices diagonally.
- Mix the ingredients for the sesame mayonnaise.
- Serve the meat with the marinated vegetables and a generous dollop of sesame mayonnaise.
Tips
Instead of flank steak you can use minute steak or any other thinly sliced meat — pork or lamb. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
You can also use chicken fillet or even salmon or fresh tuna if you wish!
Great idea, Andrea!
Mushrooms don't have a great direct substitute. You may wish to use a different side dish instead.
