Marinated Summer Steak

Ingredients
4 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
4 Tablespoons Orange Juice (freshly squeezed or from a carton)
3 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
3 Tablespoons Wine Vinegar (rice or white)
2 Cloves Garlic (finely chopped)
1in Fresh Ginger (grated)
1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
500g Steak (one piece or cubes it doesn't matter)
Salad to Serve

Equipment
1 SHARP Knife
1 Chopping Board
1 Mixing Bowl
1 Frying Pan/Griddle Pan

The Good Bit
  1. Mix all the ingredients together in the mixing bowl then drop in the meat and stir well to coat, leave to marinate for at least 4 hours (if you can do this in the morning before you go to work it's great) stir occasionally.
  2. When you are ready to cook, dry fry (no oil) just the meat in the frying pan if you are using chunks or on a griddle if you have steaks (gives it that little extra charred flavour done this way) over a high heat, just seal the meat so it browns on the outside, remove from the heat and let it rest. (cook for longer if you don't want the meat pink)
  3. Serve on a bed of lettuce, if you have used steaks, cut them with the grain into 1cm wide slices.
