Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare 10 leaves of fresh Romaine lettuce. Wash them thoroughly under running water and pat them dry.
Step 2
Similarly, wash 15 sprigs of chicory clean and set aside.
Step 3
Thinly slice about 1/4 of an onion. Place the washed Romaine, chicory, and sliced onion in ice water for about 5 minutes to enhance their crispiness. Drain well, ensuring excess water is removed.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the delicious Oriental dressing. Pour 2 tablespoons of soy sauce into a bowl.
Step 5
Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. The garlic aroma will enhance the overall flavor.
Step 6
Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar for a refreshing tang.
Step 7
Include 2 tablespoons of sugar to balance the flavors. You can adjust the sweetness to your preference.
Step 8
Add 2 tablespoons of mirin (rice wine) to remove any gamey odors and add depth to the flavor.
Step 9
Pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil to enrich the salad dressing.
Step 10
Add 1 tablespoon of perilla oil for a nutty, aromatic note. Its fragrance complements the salad beautifully.
Step 11
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds and whisk everything together until well combined. Your delicious Oriental dressing is ready!
Step 12
Prepare 200g of beef for Shabu-Shabu. Gently pat dry any excess moisture with paper towels.
Step 13
Heat a pan over medium heat. Spread the beef in a single layer and cook quickly, just until the surfaces are no longer pink. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become tough. Slice the cooked beef into bite-sized pieces.
Step 14
Arrange the prepared Romaine lettuce, chicory, and onion attractively on a large plate. Generously top with the bite-sized fruit cheese.
Step 15
Add the black olives and the flavorful cooked beef. Finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese powder for a beautiful presentation of your beef salad!
