*(Flank steak, top sirloin, or tenderloin), sliced across grain into thin s
**(combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl)
***(combine all seasoning sauce ingredients in a cup)
Thoroughly mix beef with marinade and marinate for 30 minutes. Heat wok over highest heat, when hot, swirl in 2 Tblsp peanut oil. Add ginger and salt and toss a few seconds. Add broccoli and stirfry one minute, then add water, turn heat to med-high, cover, and steam until crisp tender. Uncover and turn heat to high, stir frying until water is evaporated. Remove broccoli and reserve. Reheat same wok (without rinsing) and, when hot, add remaining peanut oil. Add beef slices and stirfry until lightly browned but not cooked through. Do not stirfry too vigorously or meat will not brown, it is better to press slices against sides of wok to sear. Add broccoli to wok and toss. When hot, stir in seasoning sauce and stir until sauce thickens (it’s a good idea to whisk the sauce in the cup just before you hurl it into the wok). Turn onto a platter and drizzle sesame oil over the top. The sugar in the marinade and seasoning sauce acts as a floor enhancer rather than a sweetener.

May be frozen. Defrost in the fridge, on the way to a picnic or in the microwave if you want them in a hurry. Combine water and yeast in mixer bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Add all purpose flour and mix at medium speed for another 4 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead a few times, form into a ball and place in a well-greased mixing bowl. Turn the ball over to grease the top, cover with a cloth and let stand at room temperature to rise until doubled in volume. While the dough is rising, cook the meat and onions over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and the meat is browned. Drain. Discard fat and juice, return meat and onions to the pan. Add tomato sauce, catsup, seasoning and cook over medium heat until the meat is dry with no noticeable liquid. Set meat mixture aside to cool until dough is ready. After the dough has doubled in volume, transfer it to a lightly floured working surface. Knead lightly. Form into a roll and cut into 12 equal portions. Form each portion into a little ball, cover with a cloth and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll each ball out to form a circle 5 to 6 inches across. Put about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture in the center of the circle. Pull the dough up around the filling and press together at the top. Place on a well greased cookie sheet, cover with a cloth and let stand about 30 to 40 minutes at room temperature or until doubled in volume.

Aunt Sadie’s Brisket Of Beef
3 Large onions*
8 Whole allspice
Salt and pepper Garlic powder Hungarian paprika 5,6 lb brisket; 1st cut
*Sliced paper thin (3 is not a typo)
The following is my favorite brisket recipe and it really does come from my Aunt Sadie’s kitchen: Remove any excess fat from brisket, but leave a little on top. Place one half of the onions on bottom of pan. Season the onions with a little salt, pepper, garlic powder and lots of Hungarian paprika. Place brisket on top of onions, then other half of onions and allspice on top of the brisket. Cover and roast in a 300 degree F. oven for 3 hours. Test your brisket and when it is fork tender, take it out. Let it cool and then slice it very thin. Strain juice and either thicken it with a little cornstarch or serve it au jus. You will have a very dark brown juice.
NOTE: Best when made one day in advance. Aunt Sadie almost always served this with savory noodle kugel. I also serve it with roasted, boiled or mashed potatoes. Use a good roasting pan with a lit that fits well or covered with heavy duty aluminum foil. Spray pan and inside of lid with Pam.

The perfect steak with herb butter
Serving size: Serves 4
Cuisine type: Asian, Mediterranean, Modern Australian
Cooking time: Less than 30 minutes
Special options: Egg free, Lactose free, Nut free
Course: Main
Favourite flavours: Beef, Easy recipes
INGREDIENTS
250g butter
2 tablespoons parsley
2 tablespoons basil
2 tablespoons coriander
2 tablespoons chives
½ teaspoon tomato paste
4 drops fish sauce
4 sirloin steaks
olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
METHOD
Place all ingredients other than steak in a food processor and mix well, or simply use a bowl and mix with the back of a fork.
Place on a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a sausage shape about the diameter of a twenty cent piece, twisting the ends to seal. Chill in the fridge until firm.
Get the meat out of the fridge half an hour before you’re going to cook it, so the inside isn’t cold and it cooks through evenly.
Brush both sides with oil or place a little oil on a plate and rub the meat on it.
Season steaks well with salt and pepper and place on a hot flat or char grill.
Cook for about 4 minutes on one side and 3 on the other, or to your taste.
Place in a shallow bowl somewhere warm and loosely cover with foil or a clean tea towel. Covering the dish tightly with foil or plastic wrap will cause the meat to continue steaming from its own heat. Rest a good size steak for between five and ten minutes.
Transfer steak to a warm plate and pour over the juices from the dish that it rested in.
Top with a slice of the herb butter. Leftover butter can be stored in the fridge or freezer.
