Ingredients & Measurements

  • water, to which you’ve added the juice of half a lemon, for 5
  • minutes or so or until just cooked through but still very
  • tender. Let both rice and prawns cool, then give the sauce a
  • quick stir and spoon some over the rice, fork this through
  • and then tumble the prawns on top, spooning a little more
  • sauce over as you go.

Chef's Sourcing & Quality Tips:

  • Produce & Aromatics: Always use fresh whole aromatics and seasonal herbs rather than dehydrated powders when possible.
  • Cooking Oils: Utilize cold-pressed oils with appropriate smoke points such as extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil.
  • Salt & Seasoning: Season from a modest height above the pan to ensure an even, uniform crystalline dispersion.

Step-by-Step Culinary Masterclass

Follow these sequential steps with careful attention to sensory cues and cooking temperatures:

Step 1: Technique & Execution

Serves 2 as a main course; four as a starter Back to top BLACK AND BLUE BEEF Nigella: ‘Black and blue’ is the New York restaurateur’s term for the way I like my steak cooked: charred on the outside, meltingly, quiveringly rare within

Step 2: Technique & Execution

It is in the spirit of internationalism, and in deference to this year’s World Cup, that I suggest this now Korean style, in a soy, ginger and garlic marinade, and then thinly sliced so that you end up with a plateful of spice-seared, ruby-fleshed rags, the whole both scorched and tender

Step 3: Technique & Execution

Ingredients: 4 approx. 4cm-thick slices, cut from the top of the rump (approx. 1.5kg in weight) For the marinade: ● 5 tablespoons soy sauce ● 3 garlic cloves, minced ● 2.5 cm fresh ginger, minced ● 2 tablespoons sesame oil ● 2 teaspoons caster sugar ● black pepper ● 4 spring onions, chopped roughly Instructions: Put the steaks in a large freezer bag and add all the marinade ingredients

Step 4: Technique & Execution

Tie the bag expelling any air, and squidge everything around before leaving in the fridge overnight (or even for a day or so) or for at least an hour at room temperature

Step 5: Technique & Execution

Grill on a viscously hot barbecue or on a griddle

Step 6: Technique & Execution

I like to do not much more than blacken the outside (which means about 5 minutes per side) but you, of course, should cook this just as long as you like
