Ingredients
- 300 g beef fillet
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper ground
- ½ tbsp garlic or grated clove, paste
- ½ tbsp neutral cooking oil neutral flavor with high smoke point, generic cooking oil
- 1 tbsp green onion thinly sliced
Sauce
- ½ tbsp sake
- 1 tbsp mirin
- ½ tbsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp wasabi paste
Instructions
- Place the 300 g fillet of beef in a container and stab it thoroughly all over with a clean fork.
- Sprinkle with ¼ tsp salt and ⅛ tsp ground black pepper and rub the ½ tbsp garlic paste evenly over the surface. Cover and bring to room temperature.
- Once the beef reaches room temperature, heat an iron skillet on high. Once hot, add the oil and place the beef fillet in the pan.
- Fry for about 30-45 seconds on each side.
- Once sealed all over, turn off the heat. Wrap the meat in foil and place it back in the pan to rest in the residual heat for 15 minutes.
- While the beef is resting, heat the ½ tbsp sake and 1 tbsp mirin in a saucepan and boil for 1-2 minutes to burn off the alcohol. Pour into a heatproof bowl.
- Add ½ tbsp soy sauce and ½ tsp wasabi paste to the bowl and whisk until combined. Store in the fridge until serving time.
- Once the beef has finished resting, use a clean, sharp knife to cut it into thin slices. Lay the slices on a plate and drizzle with the sauce. Top with chopped green onions and enjoy!
