Ingredients
- 4 150g beef fillet
- 250 g japanese rice
- 60 ml sake
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 30 ml mirin
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 tbsp groundnut oil for coating the steak
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 15 g butter kept cold and cubed
- 1 tbsp furikake optional
- 1/2 tsp chilli flakes optional
Equipment

Instructions
- Mix the soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar in a bowl big enough for the steaks. Add the steaks and marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to an hour.
- Cook the rice according to the pack instructions (see note above). Once cooked, add the sesame oil, and some sea salt and keep warm.
- Heat a griddle pan or heavy based frying pan on a high heat. Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry. Pour the marinade into a small pan and set aside.
- Lightly brush each steak with vegetable oil and season with salt, place on the griddle pan and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side. Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes.
- While the steak is resting, bring the reserved marinade to a boil and bubble for 1 minute. remove from the heat and whisk in the butter for a lovely shiny sauce.
- Serve the beef thinly sliced with some sauce drizzled over the top and the rice in a bowl sprinkled with the furikake and chilli flakes for everyone to help themselves
