Difficulty INTERMEDIATE
Good For 2 PEOPLE
Ingredients
1 1KG - JAPANESE WAGYU RIBEYE CAP STEAK, A4
2 OR A4 WAGYU RIBEYE CAP STEAK OR A5/A4 WAGYU RIBEYE STEAK
3 1 PC - DAIKON RADISH (JULIENNE)
4 2 TBSP - SESAME SEEDS (TOASTED)
5 1/2 PC - CUCUMBER (PEELED & THINLY SLICED WITH A MANDOLINE)
6 1 TBSP - FURIKAKE
7 2 TBSP - SOY SAUCE
8 1 TBSP - RICE WINE VINEGAR
9 1 TBSP - SESAME OIL
10 1 TSP - SUGAR
Steps
1 In a bowl, combine your daikon, sesame seeds, cucumber, furikake and set aside in the fridge.
2 In a separate bowl, whisk together your soy sauce, rice wine vinger, sesame oil and ginger until well combined. Set aside.
3 Preheat a skillet to medium high heat until smoking.
4 Sear your Wagyu Ribeye for 1 minute on the first side then flip and sear for another minute.
5 Flip it again to the first side and sear for 30 seconds then do the same to the second side.
6 Repeat this process until you've achieved a nice sear but making sure the center of the steak bounces back when lightly pressed. This ensure steak doneness is medium rare, total of about 5 minutes for the entire steak.
7 Set aside and let rest for 3 minutes.
8 Bring out your salad from the fridge and dress with the sauce. Mixing well.
9 Serve your Wagyu Ribeye sliced with the side salad.
Tips
1 Remember to thaw your Japanese Wagyu Beef out completely in the refrigerator before cooking.
2 Authentic Japanese Wagyu Beef need not be seasoned prior to cooking and no addition of oil or fat is necessary as the natural fat will render upon cooking.
3 The acidity in the side salad will help to cut through the fat of the Japanese Wagyu Ribeye.
