    1/2 tblsp sil koch'u (hot red pepper threads)

    Recipe



    1. Slice beef across the grain into large 1/8th-inch
    thick pieces.

    2. Mix marinade ingredients well. Add beef and
    massage marinade into beef. Wrap bowl tightly with
    plastic wrap and marinade in refrigerator for 1 hour.

    3. (a) TO GRILL: Preheat grill (if coals, set coals
    30 minutes) and lightly brush grill with vegetable
    oil. Add beef and grill 5 to 6 minutes per side, or
    until caramel brown and crusty.

    (b) TO BROIL: Preheat broiler. Lightly brush
    broiling pan with vegetable oil and set 6 inches from
    heat sources. Add beef and broil for 2 minutes per
    side.

    (c) TO PAN-GRILL: Heat 1 tblsp vegetable oil in
    a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or 14-inch non-stick
    skillet over medium-high heat, until it begins to
    smoke. Add beef and cook 2 minutes per side,
    flattening with a spatula to prevent curling. Turn
    only once. Save the pan juices to spoon over beef
    before serving.

    4. On a cutting board, slice the beef into bite-size
    pieces. Make a bed of lettuce on individual plates
    and place the beef on top of each. Garnish with pine
    nuts and sil koch'u. Serve with hot steamed rice and
    cucumber salad.
