Kai Lan wrapped in sliced beef

I caught this dish from the culinary inspiring Korean show called ‘ King of Food’. This show is timely because I have lately been so uninspired in the kitchen. The dish takes a bit of work but the effort is all worth it. If all things fail, it is at least elegant looking and makes an impression when guests come over.

Ingredients :

10 slivers of beef

10 stalks of mustard green with flowers or kale with flowers

Method :

To prepare the meat, line up beef and drizzle with thin layer of bulgolgi marinade or any of your favorite seasoning.

Chill meat while preparing the kale.

Use a vegetable peeler and shave off the tough, fibrous part of the kale.

Blanch in boiling, salted water ,  thickest part for 1 minute followed by the leaves, 10 seconds.

Drip dry and leave to cool.

Wrap the beef over the stalk of the kale.

In a hot pan, heat olive oil.

Sear the wrapped vegetable.

Pour in one cup of broth over the vegetables.

Cover and leave to cook, 1 minute.

Serve immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds and oil if desired.
