Black Pepper Beef Noodle Stir Fry

Black Pepper Beef Noodle Stir Fry recipe, eat well on universal credit

We had a ‘Lump of Rump’ Beef with which we made a slightly untraditional Beef Wellington on New Years Eve. I trimmed it into a suitable shape and the trimmings made the foundation for this dish.

Marinade Ingredients:-

Beef, cut into strips
1 Tbsp of Garlic Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
1 Tbsp of Ginger Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
1 Tsp of Chinese Five Spice
A few good \Grinds of Black Pepper

Stir Fry Ingredients:-

1 Red Onion, sliced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Thumb of Ginger, julienned
1 Large Spring Onion, sliced
½ a Red Pepper, sliced
2 Green Chillies, chopped
8 Button Mushrooms, halved
8 Baby Sweetcorn, halved
1 Tbsp of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
1 Tbsp of Oyster Sauce
1 Tbsp of Hendersons Relish
1 Tbsp of Shaoxing Wine
Black Pepper to season
Rice Noodles
A handful of Cashew Nuts
Oil to fry


Method:-

(1) Coat the Beef in the marinade ingredients and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
(2) In a large frying pan of Wok add a little Oil and fry the Onions until softened.
(3) Add the Garlic, Ginger and Chillies.
(4) Continue to fry for a further 2 minutes.
(5) Add the Red Pepper, Sweetcorn, Mushrooms and Spring Onions.
(6) Add the Soy Sauce, Oyster Sauce, Hendersons Relish, Shaoxing Wine and stir well.

(9) Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions.

We garnished ours with sliced Chillies and Spring Onions. This might not be a traditional recipe but it was really tasty and a great way to use the Beef trimmings.

Anchovy and Caper stuffed Courgette Fritters. Eat well on universal credit

“Once upon a time in tent not far from here there were a couple who had very little money and were in a bit of an uncomfortable (Read dangerous) situation. They found a Community Share Shelf where allotment holders placed their excess for people to take. The phrase ‘A million ways to cook a Marrow / Courgette’ was coined and will stay with them for life”.

Read into that what you like. However we had some slightly damaged Courgettes which we couldn’t pass on, so I thought we could improve on their rather bland flavour and use them as a side for Fish and Chips….

Ingredients:-

1 Courgette, topped and tailed and cut thickly
Anchovies and Capers, chopped

Ingredients for the Gluten free Batter:-

1 Heaped table spoon of Gram Flour
2 Heaped table spoons of Cornflour
2 Heaped table spoons of Cornflour for dredging
Salt & Pepper to season
A sprinkle of Turmeric for colour
1 Tea Spoon of Baking Powder
Carbonated Water

Method:-

(1) Mix the Batter ingredients to make a smooth but liquid batter.
(2) Heat a fryer to 180c.
(3) With your thumb press a hole in the middle of each Courgette disc.
(4) Mix the Anchovies and Capers and press into the hole with the back of a spoon.
(5) Dredge each fritter in Cornflour.
(6) Dunk in the batter and fry until golden brown on all sides, in batches.
(7) Remove and drain of kitchen paper.
(8) Re-dunk to heat just before serving.

From a rather pitiful Courgette, these evolved into something pretty good. We even repeated them last night as a side for a Surf & Turf gig….
