3 each green onions, finely chopped
4 each garlic cloves, crushed
5 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp sherry or mirin (rice wine)
1/8 tsp black pepper
Directions
Slice the steak diagonally against the grain into very
thin strips. Score each piece lightly. (This prevents
meat from curling as it is grilling). Combine
remaining ingredients in bowl, mix well, then add
meat. Allow to marinate for several hours or overnight.
To prevent overcooking, grill meat just until it turns
color, then remove from heat. Remember, all meat
continue to cook even when taken off heat. Serve with
rice.

The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found way back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. However, generally, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to academics are some tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the cooks of Roman times used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, rue and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices created an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books are in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
