Beef Kebab with Pita Bread



Today, out of boredom, I prepared beef kebab, my own version, for a light snack. Here's the recipe.
Ingredients for beef kebab:
300 grams of beef (US fillet is preferred)
1 red onion
1 inch of ginger
2 cloves of garlic
3 table spoon of dark soy sauce
1 table spoon of oyster sauce
1 table spoon of honey
Black pepper
Chilli sauce
Cooking oil
Method:
  • Marinate the beef (which has been cut into small strips) with chopped onion, ginger and garlic
  • Add in dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey and black pepper
  • Marinate for about 1-2 hours in the fridge
  • Preheat non-stick pan over medium heat stove and pour in some cooking oil
  • Saute beef in pan for about 15 minutes (it won't take too long since US fillet is easily tendered)
  • Remove excess oil (if any) and let it fried until it looks a bit crispy
  • Add in the chilli sauce
  • Seasoned to taste

Ingredients for coleslaw:

1/4 cabbage (shredded/chopped finely)

1/2 stick of carrot (shredded)

2 tablespoons of light mayonaise

A pinch of salt

1 table spoon of sugar

1 table spoon of white vinegar/Lemon juice

Method:

  • Mixed everything in a large bowl
  • Refrigerate before serving

Garnishing the kebab:

  • Shred some lettuce
  • Prepare tomatoes in small cubes
  • Cut the pita bread (wholemeal is preferred) into half and toast it awhile on a hot pan
  • Make incision to the bread to make it as a pocket
  • Stuff in the lettuce and tomatoes first
  • Scoop in the coleslaw
  • Scoop in the beef
  • Add in more lettuce and tomatoes
  • Squeeze a bit of mayonaise and chilli sauce

A perfect snack for a lazy Sunday evening!!!
