Description

A deliciously tender and flavorful Japanese dish made with seared beef, served with a tangy dipping sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef tenderloin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 2 green onions
  • 1/2 cup daikon radish
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Season the beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper on all sides.
  2. Heat sesame oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Remove the beef from the pan and let it cool slightly. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, and mirin to create the dipping sauce.
  5. Once the beef is chilled, slice it thinly against the grain.
  6. Arrange the sliced beef on a serving plate, topped with green onions, grated daikon, and toasted sesame seeds.
  7. Serve with the dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

  • For best results, use high-quality beef tenderloin.
  • Make sure to slice the beef thinly for a more tender bite.
  • You can serve the tataki with additional garnishes like shiso leaves or chili flakes.
