Beefy Situation

Ingredients
* Beef Strips
(it's a thinly sliced meat that looks like a bacon but it's beef)
* Sauce Mix
Dash of Basil
Dash of Coriander
Dash of Black Pepper
Dash of Minced Garlic
Dash of Parsley 
Dash of Turmeric
Dash of Curry Powder
(i indicated "dash" because the flavour solely depends on your appetite for spices. you can go up higher than just a dash on any of the spices i've mentioned. also you can opt for fresh basil, parsley and coriander but since this is for a sauce where the beef is to be soaked, it is best to used the ones sold by bottles or minced dried leaves)
A Tablespoon of Honey
A Tablespoon of Korean Pepper Paste
A Tablespoon of Olive Oil
One Whole Yellow Lemon
Mixed Vegetables - boiled, optional
(diced carrots, onions, tomatoes, green peas and corn/ broccoli was optional)

Garnish
Orange Skin
Lemon
Dried Tarragon Leaves
Olives
Procedure
*Wash Beef Strips in running water. Drain. Set aside.
*In a bowl, Mix all Sauce Ingredients. Add Beef Strip. Mix well. Set aside.
*Heat frying pan over medium fire and add Beef Strips.
*Cook until Sauce lightly disappears or when Beef Strips becomes a little semi grilled looking.
(i didn't indicate adding of oil while heating the frying pan because we already added Olive Oil on the Sauce Mix thus the Beef Strips are to cook on its own oil while being semi grilled on the pan.)
Finish Product. Since I'm really into food presentation, I decided to used the Orange Skin as a bowl for the Beef Strips and garnish some of its peeled skin on the entire meal. Food presentation is not just for the professionals but also for those foodie who loves a little twist in their platter :)

I superbly enjoy today's experiment. Yesterday, I saw Jamie Oliver mixing up some BBQ sauce for a recipe and on it, he added honey and I've been mixing some blends since I started preparing Korean Beef BBQ in the passed months and earlier, I thought Honey would totally rock the flavour with its sweet tingle sensation and it didn't fail me. I absolutely love the smell and taste. If only there was a way to smell the photos I've taken - you'd surely fall in love with it :) 'Til next cooking experiment.
