Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 3 1/2 tablespoons light miso
- 1/2 cup sake
- 1/3 cup other dry white wine
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 1/2 pounds beef steak (thinly sliced)
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by placing the beef steaks in the freezer for approximately 45 minutes until they are firm and partially frozen. Once firm, remove any excess fat and slice the beef very thinly. Transfer the sliced beef to a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. |
| 2 | In a small skillet over high heat, toast the sesame seeds. Swirl the pan continuously to prevent burning. Once toasted, remove the sesame seeds from the heat and allow them to cool. |
| 3 | Transfer the cooled sesame seeds to a mortar and grind them finely, being careful not to turn them into a paste. Alternatively, you can use a small coffee grinder set on pulse mode for grinding. |
| 4 | Place the ground sesame seeds in a small bowl and combine them with the light miso, sake, other dry white wine, sugar, and soy sauce. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a consistency similar to runny peanut butter. |
| 5 | Add the prepared mixture to the sliced beef and thoroughly coat it, ensuring that each slice is evenly marinated. Allow the beef to marinate for approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld and infuse into the meat. |
| 6 | Heat a large skillet or griddle over high heat and add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking. Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated beef slices, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook the beef in batches, depending on the size of your skillet. |
| 7 | Cook the beef slices for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. The beef should be cooked through and beautifully caramelized on the outside. |
| 8 | Alternatively, you can cook the marinated beef slices under a broiler or on a grill for several minutes until they are cooked to perfection. |
| 9 | Once cooked, serve the Beef Misoyaki with steamed rice for a classic pairing. Additionally, consider preparing a stir-fried vegetable dish seasoned with ginger and a splash of soy sauce to complement the rich flavors of the beef. |
