This video and recipe includes both versions of the dish from episode 6 and 7. I made the Episode 7 one. Both are delicious, have fun!
Recipe Episode 6:
- 2 thick cut sirloin or fillet steaks (200–250 g each)
- 3 medium yellow onions
- salt and black pepper
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp beef fat or neutral oil
- 300 g cooked Japanese short grain rice
Instructions:
Make cuts in a grid pattern on the steak meat, then pound it flat. Spread minced onions on both sides of the meat, then let it sit.
Remove the onions and season the meat with salt and pepper. Cook the meat in butter, then sauté the onions in the juice until they caramelize. Sprinkle the cooked onions on top of the meat, and its done.
Recipe Episode 7, additional steps:
For the sauce:
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (15 g)
- 75 ml red wine
- 15 ml soy sauce
- 15 ml water
- 5 g cornstarch or potato starch
Sear the meat in beef fat or oil on high heat for 2–3 minutes per side. Let it rest. Deglaze the same pan with red wine, soy sauce, and butter, sautée the onions in the sauce. Mix starch and water, add, and simmer until thick and glossy.
Handmade pickled plum paste:
- 2-3 umeboshi
- a tiny drizzle of honey
- pinch of sugar
Remove the pits from the Umeboshi. Mash the flesh with a spoon or mortar until smooth. Add a touch of honey or sugar to mellow the sourness, but keep it minimal. Ready to use! Best fresh, but can keep in the fridge for 1–2 weeks.
Mix rice with umeboshi. Add rice to the bowls. Slice the steak and place on top. Spoon over onions and sauce, finish with green onions.
