Beef Kelaguen Recipes

BEEF KELAGUEN (KELAGUEN KåTNE)

Steps:

• Trim beef of all fat and slice into thin strips.
• Press out as much blood from the beef as possible. Placing the beef in a colander over a bowl makes this easier to accomplish.
• Place all ingredients in bowl and mix well. Cover bowl tightly and let sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Serve chilled as a chaser or with rice.

SPICY GRILLED BEEF SALAD (KELAGUEN)

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, stir together the green onions, red onions, lemon grass, cilantro, mint leaves, lime juice, fish sauce, chili sauce and sugar until well combined and the sugar is dissolved. Adjust the flavor, if desired, by adding more sugar and/or fish sauce. Set aside.
• 2. Cook the steak over high heat on a preheated grill for approximately 4-6 minutes on each side, until it is cooked medium. Do not overcook the meat! Remove from heat and slice into thin strips.
• 3. Add the meat and its juices to the sauce and refrigerate, tightly covered, for at least 30min.
• 4. Tear the lettuce into bite size pieces and place in a salad bowl. Arrange the cucumber on top of the lettuce, and then pour the meat and sauce over.
• 5. Top with the cherry tomatoes and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. (Optional) Sprinkle chopped red hot peppers and lime zest on top.
