Beef with Soy Sauce and Ginger

2 (8 ounce/ 225 gram) sirloin steaks
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pak choy or bok choy (even spinach or any other greens will do)
8 tablespoons soy sauce
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled
1 chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1/2 a garlic clove, finely grated
1 lime, juiced
Olive oil

On a very hot griddle pan, cook your seasoned piece of sirloin steak until medium or to your liking. Place in a plate and allow to rest for 2 minutes.

Now cook your greens in salted boiling water until tender.
While hot, douse with a good couple of tablespoons of soy sauce, and sprinkle
with the garlic, ginger, chilli, lime juice and olive oil.

When the greens are cooked, simply divide onto two plates, thinly slice up the sirloin steaks, place on top of the greens and drizzle with any of the infused sauce left on the resting plate.

A good friend of mine just sent the entire contents (all 112 glorious pages) of Jamie Oliver's Naked Chef 2 cookbook in MS Word. The book has tons of recipes that I can make with ingredients I can pick up locally here in Samoa. I can't get "purple basil" or proscuitto, or a few other things, but I can live with that.

Remember, it's not the chef that's naked, it's the food! Sorry to disappoint.

I was searching online for information about Jamie Oliver and I found a few articles about the release of a fake book and has the publishers over at Penguin UK all in uproar. Apparently, these recipes from various publications of the Naked Chef have been compiled into a fake book and emailed to millions of people worldwide. Of course, the publishers are in a stew because this fake book is going to hurt sales, or so they think. It might have the opposite effect as thousands of people who might have never heard of Jamie Oliver are getting to know him.

I don't know how or where my buddy got this book. I actually don't care.
All I know is that I'm making beef with soy sauce and ginger some time this week.

Want to come over for dinner?
