Rib-Eye Stir-Fry

Another day and time to cook another 30 Minute Meal and yet another Asian inspired dish!  Rib-Eye Stir-Fry with Dan Dan Noodles and Chilled Hibiscus Tea.  My first mission was to try to find Hibiscus Tea and I gave up after looking in several speciality shops.  So this drink was omitted from my dish.  I thought about making another flavoured tea drink as I found many and varied flavours of tea, but I enjoy my glass of wine too much with my meal, so decided it wasn't really worth the effort.

Next, buy some Rib-Eye Steaks; should be easy enough.  So I go to a new local "Meat Market" that has opened nearby and look for these steaks that Jamie has explained in great detail, what they should look like.  Well it seems that butchers in the UK cut meat differently to the butchers in Australia cos when I asked for a Rib-Eye, I was shown an inch thick cut steak with a large bone, quite different to what Jamie was cooking with.  I try to explain to the butcher what Jamie had said and that there was definitely no bone.  Several discussions later, I finally walked out with two quite thinly sliced Scotch Fillets which I think is what Jamie used.  Man..it shouldn't be this hard!

Anyho..I carry on and make the dish which included spicy steaks, a platter of greens with Black Bean Sauce, some bean shoots and some noodles.  This meal was packed with punch and there were several parties going on in the mouth.  It was a great meal, albeit messy and difficult to eat, but real Yum.  I loved all the flavours on the meat which was nice and tender even though I did overcook it slightly due to the meat being thinner than Jamie's.  The black bean sauce with the greens was also great and I will use this technique again for sure.  And the whole meal washed down very nicely with a full bodied glass of red wine!

Next meal, yet another Asian dish....Thai Green Curry!  Lucky we like and grow chillies in this household!
