Welcome to A Simple Thing Called Food. after many attempt at blogging, i found myself loosing interest very quickly, I realized that I wasn't writing about things that really matter to me on a daily basis. I love food, everything about food, I'm also a photographer and the two passion together makes for a great hobby. I started to write a recipe book about a year ago for family and friends to feel more connected even if we are miles apart. I thought maybe other people who love food as much as I do may also like this blog. so feel free to read or try new recipes, post comments on your results and tell me what your favorite thing is.

A simple thing called Japanese-style steak salad

I made this salad for my partner for dinner and he gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

750 g of steak
3 tsp Wasabi paste
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Grated fresh ginger
2 tbsp Rice vinegar
3 tbsp Pickled ginger ( optional)
1 tbsp Of the picking liquid from the ginger
2 tbsp Sesame oil
3 tbsp Vegetable oil.
100g (3 1/2 oz) Baby spinach
100g (3 1/2 oz) Mizuna or watercress, trimmed
4 Radish thinly slice with a vegetable peeler
1 Cucumber (short) peeled and cut into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
3 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds



Generously season the steak with salt and pepper, cook in a pan with oil or on the barbecue till desire doneness. Remove, cover and let sit for 5 mins.

to a large bowl, add the wasabi paste, mustard, ginger, rice vinegar, pickled ginger, picking liquid, and 1/2 tbsp of salt and whisk together.   Whisk in the sesame oil and the vegetable oil, then add the spinach, mizuna, radish and cucumber. Toss well together.

Slice the steak across the grain into thin strips, add to salad, give a quick toss. Serve immediately and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
