Treason of Beef in Battery

Ingredients

For the Beef:

• ½ pound lean boneless beef (sirloin, top round, or flank)

• Sesame Dipping Sauce (see below)

• 3 tablespoons each, flour and water

• 3 eggs

• 1¼ cup coarsely chopped, lightly packed watercress leaves and small stems

• ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions (including tops)

• ¼ cup Alimony Antidote or your hot sauce of choice

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon pepper

• Canola oil for frying

For the Sauce:

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

• 1 teaspoon crushed toasted sesame seeds

• 1/8 to ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

Instructions

For the Beef:

Prepare the Sesame Dipping Sauce  and sequester.

In a medium-size bowl, mix flour and water until smooth. Add the eggs and beat to blend. Thinly slice the beef across the grain, then cut slices into bite-size pieces. Add to the egg mixture along with watercress, onions, Alimony Antidote, salt and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly. Set aside the evidence.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide frying pan over medium heat. Dip out 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture, being sure to include some of the egg batter in each spoonful; place in a pan, forming a small patty (you can cook 4 or 5 at a time). Cook the patties until lightly browned on both sides (about 3 minutes per side), then keep warm in a 200 degree chamber. Repeat until all meat mixture has been used, adding more oil to pan as necessary. Serve with Sesame Dipping Sauce.

For the Sauce:

In a small bowl, stir together all ingredients. Serve in small individual bowls.
