The spicy onion rings, over fruity, smoky and mild Mexican chillies with garlic in this beef marinade, are hard to resist.

Serves 4

Chilli Beef with Spicy Onion Rings Ingredients:

4 rump (round) or rib-eye beef steaks of about 225g each

For the chilli paste

3 large pasilla chillies
2 cloves garlic, chopped finely
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground toasted cumin seeds
1 tsp dried oregano
salt and ground black pepper

For the spicy onion rings

2 onions, sliced and separated into rings
1 cup milk
1/2 cup coarse corn meal polenta
1/2 tsp dried red chilli flakes
1 tsp ground toasted cumin seeds
1 tsp dried oregano
vegetable oil for deep-frying

Chilli Beef with Spicy Onion Rings Cooking Instructions:

1. Cut the stalks from the chilies then stir them and shake out most of the seeds to make the chilli paste. Toast the chillies in a dry frying pan for 2-4 minutes until they give off their aroma. Place the chillies in a bowl. Cover with warm water and leave to soak for 20-30 minutes.

2. Drain the chillies and reserve the soaking water. Put them in a food processor or blender. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano and oil. Process to a smooth paste, adding a little soaking water, if necessary. It should not be too stiff. Season with pepper.

3. Pour the chilli paste all over the meat. Put the steaks in a dish then cover and leave to marinade in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.

4. Make the onion rings by soaking the onions in the milk for 30 minutes. Mix the corn meal, chilli, cumin and oregano in a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil for deep-frying to 160-180 Degrees Celcious or until a cube of day-old bread browns in about 45 seconds. Drain the onion rings and dip into the corn meal mixture. Fry in batches for 2-4 minutes until brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan. Drain on kitchen paper.

5. Prepare the barbecue or heat a cast-iron griddle pan. Season the steaks with salt and cook for about 5 minutes on each side for a medium result. Adjust the timing for rare or well-done steak. Serve the steaks while hot with the onion rings.

These spicy meat fritters can be served with or without rice at any party.

Makes 30

Spicy Meat Fritters Recipe Ingredients:

450g lean minced (ground) beef
450g potatoes, boiled and drained
1 bunch of spring onions, chopped
1 onion, quartered
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, dry-fried and ground
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, dry-fried and ground
Oil for shallow frying
Salt
Ground black pepper

Spicy Meat Fritters Recipe Cooking Instructions:

1. Mash the potatoes in the pan, while still warm, until they are well broken up. Add to the minced beef and mix well together.

2. Finely chop the onion, spring onions and garlic. Add to the meat with the ground nutmeg, coriander and cumin. Stir in enough beaten egg to give a soft consistency which can be formed into fritters. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Using a dessertspoon, scoop out 6-8 oval-shaped fritters and drop them into the hot oil. Leave to set to keep their shape (will take about 3 minutes). Then turn over and cook for another minute.
