Ingredients: 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup sherry 3-4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce One 1" piece fresh ginger root, coarsely chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped 1 cup vegetable oil Preparation: Place soy sauce, sherry, Worcestershire sauce, ginger root and garlic in a food processor and pulse until all ingredients are completely chopped. While the food processor is running, slowly add 1 cup of vegetable oil (the oil will emulsify the marinade and thicken it). Place chunks of beef in a large ziplock bag; pour marinade into the bag and place in the refrigerator. Chef's Notes: It's fun to make garnishes to serve with your beef: - If you like hot peppers, you can make a red-pepper flower (figure A). Just slice the pepper vertically into 8 slices until it looks like a flower. Core out the inner flesh of the pepper, place in a bowl of water and set in the refrigerator (if you want to serve it sooner, place in a bowl of ice water). Note: It's a good idea to wear gloves when working with peppers.
- Scrape some of the leaves from a stem of rosemary; sharpen the end of the stem and use it to skewer 3 button mushrooms (figure B).
- To make a tomato rose (figure C), remove the peel from a tomato in a strip about 1/2" to 1" wide (peel carefully so you'll have one long piece). Starting at one end, roll the strip so it will "bloom" outward. This takes a little time; you may need to practice until you master it.
- For steak-sauce lovers, remove the tops from cherry tomatoes and scoop out the insides. Fill the tomatoes with steak sauce and garnish with a little sprig of parsley (figure D).
