Asian beef and popcorn, a wicked recipe you to try in 2023
Asian Beef and Popcorn is a recipe you simply just must try, sounds crazy but it is so so good. Some of the ingredients for Asian beef and popcorn will sound a tad crazy, but believe me together they work so so very well. You get flavours and textures all in one. This received a massive thumbs up from all that were eating it this day.
I made this recipe up having seen an article in an inflight magazine that used popcorn. With my impending birthday/housewarming BBQ coming soon I have been practicing a few new dishes, and this is absolutely going to be on the menu on the 28th. My Asian beef and popcorn are pretty simple, to be honest, and man is this ever effective.
This will make a big salad.
- 3 trimmed rib eye steaks. I sliced them thinly and gave a wee bash with a tenderizer hammer;
- 6 corn on the cobs – simply trim off the top and bottom and then cut the kernels away from the cob;
- 4 finely sliced red onions;
- 1 cleaned and peeled pomelo;
- 1-2 finely chopped chili padi;
- 3 limes – squeezed for their juice;
- 1 packet of salty popcorn; and
- 2 packets of finely chopped coriander.
- Fry the onions off in some butter – not for too long though, as you want to keep them crunchy;
- Fry off the beef in some oil – this will only take minutes if you have sliced it finely enough;
- Place the corn kernels into a colander and dip them in some boiling water for a minute or two to blanch them. Again not for too long as you want to retain the crunch;
- Mix all of this in a bowl and add the lime juice, pomelo, and coriander;
- At the very last minute ping the popcorn in the microwave and when all have popped gently stir these into the salad and then serve.
