International Lunch



Every year we celebrate the different nationalities in our company by holding an International Shared Lunch. The amount of food, the variety, and the tastiness of the dishes are amazing! This lunch is one of the highlights of the year.

This year the Asian style Beef Salad by Mush, our Visual Merchandiser, was a winner amongst us in the design team. She kindly shared the recipe, which I have posted below for you to enjoy as well...

Garnish / 
Pinenuts, Sunflower seeds, Pumpkin seeds lightly toasted in some Tamari sauce (extra to above)
Crispy noodles

Preparation / 
Beef > Marinate beef in Tamari sauce, Sesame oil, Garlic, Chillies and Kiwifruit for 2 hours. For best results marinate overnight.

Quickly fry or BBQ the beef for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and leave to rest for 2 minutes before placing on top of salad. Add the toasted nuts/seeds and crispy noodles.
