Steam Shark Steak with Salted Bean Paste (豆醬)

I have never eaten shark meat before, less those shark fin at Wedding Dinners. Eating Shark meat is not cruel as eating shark fins. Shark fin farmers cut off the fins and throw the sharks into the sea to die as they can't swim. Shark meat actually comes from a whole shark and nothing is wasted just like how we slaughter pigs or cattle. 

In fact, after tasting this, it goes really well with teochew porridge. I think i will be eating shark meat more often now. And its relatively cheap too! For those who hate to eat fish due to the fishy smell, to remove the fishy smell, add more ginger and  Salted Bean Paste (豆醬).

Ingredients

2 Shark Steak

1 Tbsp  Salted Bean Paste (豆醬)

5 Slices of Ginger, Thinly sliced

Method

1. Lay Shark Steaks in a pan

2. Spread the Salted Bean Paste (豆醬) all over the shark steak

3. Sprinkle ginger all over the shark steak

4. Steam for 20 mins

5. Enjoy!

Ingredient

500g beef chuck tender (This is selected due to cost and texture)

3 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Sandwich Loaf
Sliced Cheddar Cheese
Eggs
200g White Button Mushroom, Sliced
Butter

Method

1. Pour olive oil into skillet under medium to high heat.

2. Salt and pepper both sides of beef.

3. Brown all sides of roast. (You just want to get a nice brown coating on your meat for flavor.)

4. With a pointy-knife, poke about one dozen holes into top and bottom of the roast. This will allow juices to drain into roasting pan during oven cooking

5. Place roast into baked pan. Now add Rosemary, salt and pepper to top of roast.

7. Play with the timing and temp to achieve your desire done-ness.

8. In a pan, heat up a knob of butter and soften the mushrooms till they turn dark brown.  

9. In another Pan, Fry the egg.
