Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef tenderloin or sirloin
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 30 ml Mirin
- 30 ml sake
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice, Mirin, sake, and granulated sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the marinade and mix well. Set aside.
Heat a large frying pan over high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Season the beef tenderloin or sirloin generously with salt and pepper.
Once the pan is hot, sear the beef on all sides for about 1-2 minutes per side until the outside is browned but the inside remains rare.
Remove the beef from the pan and immediately submerge it into the marinade. Let it rest in the marinade for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally to coat all sides.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the garnish. Thinly slice the green onions and set aside.
Remove the beef from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Slice the beef thinly against the grain using a sharp knife.
Arrange the sliced beef on a serving plate and drizzle with the sesame oil.
Sprinkle the beef with the sliced green onions and black sesame seeds.
Optionally, serve with the remaining marinade as a dipping sauce.
Enjoy your Beef Tataki immediately as an appetizer or main dish.
