- 450 g Beef sliced into 1-2 inch strips
- 550 g Baby Marrow Zucchini
- 3 tbsps. Coconut oil
- 1 tbsp. garlic diced or minced
- 3 tbsps Soya sauce
- 3 tbsps. Coriander chopped
- Place coconut oil into a frying pan on medium heat.
- Add the strips of beef into the frying pan and sauté for a few minutes. When the beef is browned, add in the baby marrow (zucchini) strips and keep sautéing. When they are soft or cooked to your liking (remember they can actually be eaten raw, so even warm is fine if you like), add in the soy sauce, garlic, and coriander. Sauté for a few minutes more and serve immediately.
Terminology:
Dice/Diced/Dicing:
The process of cutting food into small cubes of equal size so that the food is evenly cooked and/or pleasant in appearance for the recipe. It is also a precision cut that is consistent in size.
Mince/Minced/Mincing:
Mincing is a food preparation technique in which food ingredients are finely divided into uniform pieces. Minced food is in smaller pieces than diced or chopped foods, and is often prepared with a chef's knife or food processor, or in the case of meat by a specialised meat grinder.
Chop/Chopped/Chopping:
Means to cut food into (more or less) bite-sized pieces using the quick, heavy blows of a knife. If a recipe calls for something to be finely chopped, the pieces should be smaller than bite sized, and if it calls for roughly chopped, they should be slightly bigger
Sauté:
This is a cooking term that means to brown or cook food quickly over fairly high heat using a small amount of fat in an open, shallow pan. The word comes from the French word "sauter," which means "to jump."
