Ingredients
Marinade:
- 1 tsp grated ginger

- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- ½ tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

Method
- Mix the grated ginger, garlic, honey, ginger beer, lemon juice, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, pinch of salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add the beef fillets and let marinate for about five minutes. N.B. Don't let it marinate for too long as this mixture is quite acidic.
- To make the coleslaw, in a separate bowl add the chopped coriander, grated carrot and radish, bok choy, chilli, spring onions, deep fried shallots, sesame seeds, vinegar, olive oil, pepper and mayonnaise. Mix together well.
- Cook the beef on a hot grill pan with a little oil, until cooked to your liking.
- Grill buns on a grill pan.
- Assemble sandwich with the fillet on the bun, generously topped with the slaw, the bun lid and a skewer to hold it together.
