Pa-sanjeok (skewered green onion, vegetable and beef in batter)

Cut the sirloin steak into strips and press with the back of the knife to tenderise.

Marinate with a minced garlic clove, half a tablespoon of soy sauce, a teaspoon of honey, a little ground black pepper and a teaspoon of sesame oil; mix and refrigerate.

Trim the vegetables to the same length, discarding the tough core.

Salt the boiling water and blanch the carrots, asparagus and the white part of the green onions, covered, for one minute; leave the green part raw.

Drain and quickly rinse in cold water.

Thread green onion, carrot, white green onion, asparagus and beef onto skewers, leaving the beef longer since it shrinks.

Mix flour with half a cup of water and half a teaspoon of salt into a thin batter.

Heat oil in a pan over medium-high, dip each skewer lightly in the batter and cook, turning, a few minutes on both sides, controlling the heat.

Mix a tablespoon of soy sauce with a tablespoon of vinegar for dipping.
