Don't quibble with Sybil beef

[courton]

This is a wonderful beef recipe by Sybil Kapoor which is in the book 'Around the world in 80 dishes'. The author talks about the fusion of flavours and declares 'don't quibble with Sybil'.

After having it last night, this household agrees that it is a wonderful combination of flavours. So forum members, should we or should we not quibble with Sybil?

Ingredients

170 gms light brown sugar
1 star anise
1 cm ginger
3 cloves garlic
1-2 lemon zest
1-2 finely sliced red chillies
115 mls kikkoman soy sauce
115 mls sesame oil

155 coarse sea salt
450 gm trimmed fillet of beef

2 tablespoons sunflower oil

Whizz sugar, star anise, ginger, garlic, lemons, soy sauce and sesame oil in TMX for a few seconds. Add coarse sea salt and chillies. Pour over beef, cover and leave in fridge for 36-48 hours turning every 12 hours. When ready to cook, quickly rinse under cold water, pat dry with kitchen towels and sear in a hot pan which has sunflower oil (heated).

Preheat oven 200^oC. Place beef in baking dish, pour the sunflower oil from pan and cook for 12 mins. Ours took much longer since we like it reasonably well cooked. Remove, cool and even chill until ready to serve. Cut into very thin slices before serving.

PS. I have tweaked the recipe a little bit.
