Ingredients

400g whole piece of sirloin , trimmed of excess fat
1 tbsp sunflower oil
thumb-sized piece ginger , finely grated
¼ cucumber , peeled and cut into matchsticks
small handful mustard cress
2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
cooked sticky rice , to serve (optional)
4 tbsp soy sauce
juice 1 lime
large pinch of chilli flakes
small pinch of white sugar
1 tbsp wasabi
5 tbsp soured cream

Steps:

Rub the beef generously with oil and season well. Heat a heavy frying pan and sear the beef on all sides for about 8 mins in total for very rare, 10 mins for rare and 12 mins for medium-rare. Remove from the pan and set aside.
While the meat is resting, prepare the accompaniments. For the ponzu dipping sauce, mix all the ingredients together with a splash of water until the sugar has dissolved, then set aside. For the wasabi cream, stir the ingredients together until completely mixed, then set aside.
After the beef has rested for 10 mins, use your sharpest knife to carve it into thin slices. Fan the slices out on a serving platter, scatter with the cucumber, then the cress, followed by the sesame seeds. Bring to the table with the two sauces and the ginger in small serving dishes for dipping and spreading over the beef slices. Serve with chopsticks and sticky rice on the side, if you like.

Ingredients

Neutral oil ((such as vegetable or canola oil))
2 medium onions ((very thinly sliced))
1 pound very thinly sliced beef ((450g, fatty beef chuck or ribeye))
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup dashi stock ((can also substitute beef or chicken stock))
4 eggs
4 cups cooked white rice ((short grain or medium grain preferred))
1 scallion ((chopped))
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds ((optional))

Steps:

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, and cook the sliced onions for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
Add the beef and sugar, and cook until the beef is slightly browned. Add the mirin, soy sauce, and stock. Bring to a simmer, and cook for about 10-15 minutes to reduce the stock into a thin sauce. Taste for seasoning, and add a little more soy sauce if needed.
Meanwhile, heat another couple tablespoons of oil in a cast iron or non-stick skillet. Cook the eggs sunny-side up. You can cook them in batches if needed. The yolks should still be runny!
When the beef is done simmering, divide the rice among 4 bowls, and top with the beef and an egg for each bowl. Garnish with chopped scallion and toasted sesame seeds, if using.

ASIAN BEEF STRIPS

Asian Beef Strips image

These tender sirloin strips are marinated in a soy sauce mixture that gives them a wonderful Asian flavor. For a more ethnic version, you could use Japanese rice wine (sake). The beef strips can also be grilled.-Joe Varga, Collingswood, New Jersey
