A wilting bunch of green onions was the source of inspiration for this spicy chimichurri-like sauce. Don't waste food even if it's ugly!
I'm honestly all about making things easier too: that's why I like sauces that COULD serve as a marinade or a condiment. This is that recipe.
For almost 1/4 cup of sauce:
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon aji mirin (aka mirin seasoning)
1 teaspoon pure sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 bird’s eye chili pepper, chopped (optional)
Sauté together vegetable oil, sliced green onions and minced garlic until fragrant (and the garlic is basically fried!). In a small heat safe container, transfer the hot green onion and garlic mixture. Add the rest of the ingredients; stir. Serve on meat, fish or even plain noodles.
This beautiful Whisky Mushroom Steak makes a hearty Autumn meal, the kind of comforting lunch to enjoy with a nice glass of red and a cosy murder mystery perhaps... (I had mine with the denouement of Have His Carcase!)
Ingredients (serves 1):
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 (90 to 120-gram/3 to 4-ounce) flank steak
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 button mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup good whisky (but perhaps not your best one!)
1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 heaped tablespoons crème fraîche or sour cream
In a medium, deep skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add flank steak, and sear, browning about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Set aside.
Add butter to the skillet.
Cut button mushrooms into thick slices. Once the butter is just foaming, stir in the mushrooms, and cook, shaking the pan often until they take a nice golden brown colour.
Stir in dried thyme and garlic. Cook, 1 minute.
Return flank steak to the skillet.
Pour half of the Whisky over the meat and mushrooms, and immediately and carefully ignite with a match. Flambé, until flames die down.
Season with fleur de sel and black pepper, and stir in crème fraîche. Cook a few minutes, until slightly reduced. Then, stir in remaining Whisky, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, a couple of minutes more until sauce nicely coats the steak and mushrooms.
Serve Whisky Mushroom Steak hot, with Potato Mash, and a glass of robust red, like an Australian Shiraz or a French Ventoux.

My husband crushed dinner tonight! Marinated & grilled flank steak with carrot salad.
If you Google 'peeled carrot salad' you'll find a blueprint for the salad. This one has carrots, cabbage, pickled red onions, sesame oil, sesame seeds, soy sauce, and sugar.
