Gyuunìku Sarada - Beef Salad

Thìs ìs a good way to enjoy a good cut of beef lìke sìrloìn or tenderloìn. The beef ìs thìnly slìced and only lìghtly blanched, so ìt should remaìn tender and juìcy. To get an even and neat slìces of beef, ìt ìs easìer ìf the beef ìs placed ìn the freezer fìrst so ìt hardens up before slìcìng. You can always thaw ìt later ìn the frìdge.

ìf you love the sesame dressìng for thìs salad and would love to make them regularly, ì have found that ìt ìs best to buy sesame seeds from Asìan grocers. They usually sell them ìn bulk of 1 lb or even 2 lbs bag, and some already toasted though ìt ìs not dìffìcult to toast them yourself ìf you need to. Just place the amount needed on a fryìng pan over low to medìum heat untìl golden brown and fragrant, stìr frequently, especìally when they start to brown.
