Roasted Sweet-Soy Eggplant, Beef & Cucumber Slaw

Eggplant roasted in the oven has to be one of our favourite veggies. The sweet soy seasoning gives it a special boost of flavour and the refreshing cucumber and radish slaw drizzled over with sesame dressing, tastes divine.

Cooking Steps

Roast the eggplant & cook the beef
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut eggplant into quarters lengthways, then deeply score the flesh to make a criss-cross pattern. • Place eggplant on lined oven tray, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle over sweet soy seasoning and season with salt. Toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. While eggplants are roasting,      
• Discard any liquid from beef strip packaging. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. 
• When oil is hot, cook beef strips in batches, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.

Pickle the radish
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice radish. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Add radish to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover the radish and set aside.

Get prepped
3

• Roughly chop baby leaves. • Slice cucumber into half-moons. • Grate carrot. • Finely chop garlic.

Make the dressing
4

• Add garlic and the sesame oil to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 10 second bursts until sizzling. • Add the soy sauce, brown sugar and a splash of the pickling liquid and mix well.

Bring it all together
5

• Add shredded cabbage mix to the garlic-soy dressing, along with baby leaves, carrot and cucumber tossing to combine.

Finish & serve
6

• Drain pickled radish. • Divide cucumber slaw between bowls. • Top with pickled radish and sweet-soy eggplant and beef. • Garnish with crispy shallots. • Drizzle over sesame dressing to serve. Enjoy!
