INSTRUCTIONS
1. Quarter
unpeeled apples, carrots and 1 1/2 onions. Place in a large saucepan with
sugar, ginger, 160ml (2/3 cup) soy sauce, dates, 6 garlic cloves, peppercorns
and 2L water. Bring to the boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and
simmer for 45 minutes or until liquid is reduced to 500ml (2 cups). Strain into
a bowl, discard solids, then refrigerate for 10 minutes.
2. Cut
beef into 3mm-thick slices across the grain. Cut remaining 1 1/2 onions into
quarters and process with kiwifruit, mirin and remaining 60ml (1/4 cup) soy
sauce and 3 garlic cloves. Stir kiwifruit mixture into marinade base. Add beef,
turn to coat, then cover and refrigerate for 12 hours or up to 2 days to
marinate.
3. Heat
a greased chargrill pan or barbecue over high heat. Drain beef mixture, then
cook beef, in 6 batches, for 30 seconds each side or until charred and almost
cooked. Transfer to a large plate.
NOTES
· Chinese
dried red dates (jujube), have a mild spiced taste and are less sweet than (and
unrelated to) the palm date. From Asian food shops. If unavailable, increase
apples to 2.
· Mirin,
from supermarkets and Asian food shops, is sweet Japanese rice wine.
·
Allow
an extra 12 hours or up to 2 days to marinate beef.
· Scatter
with spring onion and pine nuts, then serve with lettuce leaves, quick kimchi
and pan-fried tofu.
