DIRECTIONS:
- Trim any excess fat from the beef. Using a meat mallet or covered rolling pin, pound the steaks until 1/2 in thick. Season on both sides and place in a shallow dish.
- Mix the ginger wine, ginger root, and chili and pour over the meat. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the relish. Peel and finely chop the pineapple and place it in a bowl. Halve, seed, and finely chop the bell pepper and chili. Stir it into the pineapple, together with the soy sauce and preserved ginger. Cover and chill until required.
- Brush the ridged skillet with the oil and heat until very hot. Drain the beef and add to the pan, pressing down to seal. Lower the heat and cook for 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over and cook for 5 minutes.
- Drain the steaks on paper towels and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with chili strips, and serve with noodles, scallions, and the relish.
