That Korean Beef Recipe

From the post on the Korean Martyrs.

Maria asked for the recipe. Well, here it is, very much adapted from the Women's Weekly Asian Dinner Party Cookbook.

Very much adapted because that is how I cook. Slap dash. Delete something here. Add something there.

Surprisingly, this Korean Beef still turned out well. A sweet but not sticky sweet sauce. Delish.

We had it with rice and with Chinese noodles.

1kg ( about 2 lbs) of steak, sliced thinly
1 tablespoon sesame seeds ( I didn't have any so left these out - but they would make an authentic addition!)
6 green shallots, finely chopped
1/2 red and1/2 green capsicum ( pepper), sliced
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger ( I couldn't be bothered to grate the ginger so just chopped it up)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons sherry

Brown the sesame seeds, if using, in a frypan. Combine all the other ingredients. Marinate for a couple of hours ( I left out the marinate for a couple of hours step, as I only started cooking this at 8.00 p.m. I marinated for, like, 10 minutes. lol!).

Heat a tablespoon of peanut oil in a frypan or work. Add all other ingredients and stir fry until steak is cooked.

That is it. Simple as - especially if you follow my cheat's version.

EVERYONE in the family ate it and liked it. That is amazing!

Prayer of Consecration of St. Maximilian Kolbe

O Immaculata, Queen of Heaven and earth, refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother, God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to thee. I, N___, a repentant sinner, cast myself at thy feet humbly imploring thee to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to thyself as thy possession and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever most pleases thee. If it pleases thee, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accomplish what was said of thee: "She will crush your head," and, "Thou alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world."

Let me be a fit instrument in thine Immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls, and thus help extend as far as possible the blessed Kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever thou enters, one obtains the grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through thy hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

V. Allow me to praise thee O Sacred Virgin.
R. Give me strength against thy enemies.

Prayer of St Bonaventure

Pierce, O most Sweet Lord Jesus, my inmost soul with the most joyous and healthful wound of Thy love, with true, serene, and most holy apostolic charity, that my soul may ever languish and melt with love and longing for Thee, that it may yearn for Thee and faint for Thy courts, and long to be dissolved and to be with Thee.Grant that my soul may hunger after Thee, the bread of angels, the refreshment of holy souls, our daily and supersubstantial bread, having all sweetness and savor and every delight of taste; let my heart ever hunger after and feed upon Thee, upon whom the angels desire to look, and may my inmost soul be filled with the sweetness of Thy savor; may it ever thirst after Thee, the fountain of life, the fountain of wisdom and knowledge, the fountain of eternal light, the torrent of pleasure, the richness of the house of God.May it ever compass Thee, seek Thee, find Thee, run to Thee, attain Thee, meditate upon Thee, speak of Thee, and do all things to the praise and glory of Thy name, with humility and discretion, with love and delight, with ease and affection, and with perseverance unto the end.May Thou alone be ever my hope, my entire assurance, my riches, my delight, my pleasure, my joy, my rest and tranquility, my peace, my sweetness, my fragrance, my sweet savor, my food, my refreshment, my refuge, my help, my wisdom, my portion, my possession and my treasure, in whom may my mind and my heart be fixed and firmly rooted immovably henceforth and for ever. Amen.
