Beef Brisket and Vegetable Skillet Ingredients- 1/3 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium eggplant, sliced
- 150g beef brisket slices
- Herb salt, to taste
- Cooking oil (e.g., canola, grapeseed) for sautéing
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Microwave Steamed Egg Ingredients- 2 large eggs
- 120ml water (or milk for a creamier texture)
- Pinch of salt (about 1/4 tsp)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- 2 large eggs
- 120ml water (or milk for a creamier texture)
- Pinch of salt (about 1/4 tsp)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables. Slice the zucchini into half-moon shapes, about 0.7cm thick. Thickly slice or chop the onion. Cut the eggplant into roughly 0.7cm thick diagonal slices. Cutting the vegetables into these sizes will ensure they cook evenly and have a pleasant texture.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini, onion, and eggplant. Sauté each vegetable until it’s tender and lightly golden brown. Season lightly with salt and pepper as they cook. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Remove the cooked vegetables from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add the beef brisket slices and stir-fry. Beef brisket cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Periodically pat away excess oil with paper towels to reduce greasiness. Lightly season the brisket with herb salt once it’s nicely browned.
Step 4
Now, let’s plate everything beautifully. Arrange the colorful sautéed vegetables around the edge of a serving plate. Generously place the cooked beef brisket in the center. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for a final touch. Your delicious Beef Brisket and Vegetable Skillet is ready!
Step 5
It’s time to make the steamed egg. In a bowl, crack the 2 eggs. Add 120ml of water (or milk for a creamier texture) and a pinch of salt. For an extra smooth texture, strain the egg mixture through a sieve. Whisk gently to avoid creating too much foam.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture into a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap (if using plastic wrap, poke a few holes with a fork). Microwave on high for about 2 minutes. Check the doneness and add 30-second increments if needed, until the egg is just set. This method ensures a perfectly cooked, silky steamed egg.
Step 7
Garnish the steamed egg with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. This fluffy and moist microwave steamed egg pairs wonderfully with the Beef Brisket and Vegetable Skillet, making it a complete and satisfying meal for everyone. Enjoy this delightful feast!
