Zucchini and Seared Sirloin

Categories: Beef

Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise
• 1 1/2 Lb. sirloin steak
• Dressing:
• 4 Tbsp. sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
• 2 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
• 2 clementines or tangerines
• Chopped cilantro
• 2 tsp. sesame seeds
• 2 Tbsp. dried shallots or dried minced onion, toasted

Directions

1. Use a vegetable peeler and shave off long, thick slices of zucchini. ( Slices should look like a very wide, flat noodle.)
2. Dressing: combine sugar and water; heat on medium and bring to simmer until sugar dissolves. Ass soy sauce, ginger and sesame oil; remove pan from heat. Cut clementines in half; squeeze juice into the pan with sugar. Whisk to combine; pour the dressing into a large bowel. Soak zucchini in the dressing 3 to 5 minutes and then transfer to a plate with slotted spoon, reserving dressing.
3. Cut the sirloin into thin slices; marinate in remaining dressing 15 minutes. Remove steak, discard dressing. Sear steak in a hot skillet or griddle 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Divide the steak among 4 serving plates. Drain and roll the zucchini slices; stand next to steak on each plate. Sprinkle cilantro, sesame seeds and shallots over steak. Serve immediately.
