Delicioso Beef with Peppers

Makes for two ... and then some extra

1 piece of ribeye steak
2 slices of white onion
1/2 a green pepper

Slice the steak to 1/2 cm strips
season with 2 tsp light soya sauce, 1 clove minced garlic & 1/2 tsp of ginger, dashes of pepper and a splash of wochester sauce (though i think this is optional)

Heat the pan with hot oil and toss in the onions.
Toss onion after 30 seconds to the other side
Low fire
Slide in the marinated beef and place the lid over pan.
cook depending on your rawness level, but it shouldn't be long as its sliced already
Flip the beef so they cook on the other side and throw in the peppers.
Close the lid and turn off the stove after 2 mins
Set aside for a few minutes

Place meat over rice or a plate of salad.

YUM!

Emma agrees too and she doesn't eat beef. :)

Delicioso Chicken Salad

So... till I travel again next summer, I thought I'd fill in the time with a few very simple recipies which require very simple ingredients and very little washing!

Chicken Salad
Serves 2

6 chicken breast strips
1 clove finely minced garlic
1/2 tsp finely minced ginger
pinch of salt & pepper
Generous shake of cajun seasoning (at least cover one side of the chicken)
1 tablespoon of honey

For best flavour, marinate the chicken overnight.

Pan fry the chicken.
slice the cooked chicken

Place the sliced chicken over a plate of mix leafy greens and top with various leftover toppings (both sweet and savoury) like:

Olives, cherry tomatoes, leftover shedded cheese & ... spoons of fruit cocktail...!

You don't have to top with anything, so its really up to your liking. I trust sundried tomatoes would be amazing too. Dress the salad with the marinate you will get when you cook the chicken.

I wish I had a camera to show the process. Alas, I ate it all and went for seconds!!!
