How to prepare Japanese-style beef steak rice

1

Prepare the pouring sauce

In a bowl, combine 4 teaspoons of soy sauce, 3 teaspoons of Yuzu juice (or lemon juice), 3 teaspoons of Shio Koji (or miso), 3 teaspoons of sugar, 4 teaspoons of finely chopped dried onion, a bit of chopped green onion, and then stir well to dissolve the ingredients together.
2

Prepare the beef

After purchasing the tenderloin, rinse it briefly with water and let it drain.

Evenly coat both sides of the meat with a layer of sesame oil, then sprinkle a little salt and a bit of pepper evenly over the surface of the meat.

Tip: You should only add salt and pepper just before cooking, as seasoning too early can cause the meat to dry out due to the salt absorbing moisture from the meat.
3

Sear the beef

Place a pan on the stove, wait for the pan to heat up, then add the meat to sear for 1.5 – 2 minutes.

While waiting for one side of the meat to cook, sprinkle salt and pepper on the other side. You can gently press down to help the meat dry out faster.

Then, flip the meat over and continue searing until the piece reaches your desired doneness: rare, medium, well-done.
4

Completion

Transfer the meat to a plate and let it rest for the same amount of time it was cooked.

While waiting for the meat to rest, drizzle the sauce over it to allow the sauce to soak into the meat.

After the resting time is up, slice the meat into bite-sized pieces.
