How to Make Beef California Roll Salad

Whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, 1 tablespoon sake, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a small bowl. This is your marinade.
Place 2 (8-ounce) beef sirloin steaks in a food-safe plastic bag.
Pour marinade over steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.
Seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for 15 minutes to 2 hours.
While the beef marinates, prepare the wasabi cucumbers: Combine 1 tablespoon wasabi paste and 2 tablespoons pomegranate juice in a medium bowl.
Add 1 cup thinly sliced cucumbers and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Prepare the gingered carrots: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger.
Add 1 cup shredded carrots and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Remove steaks from marinade and discard marinade.
Preheat grill to medium heat with a bed of ash for even cooking.
Grill steaks for 7-10 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. Use a meat thermometer to ensure desired internal temperature.
Let steaks rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
Arrange wasabi cucumbers and gingered carrots side-by-side on a serving platter.
Top with sliced beef.
Garnish with ½ avocado, sliced, 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds, and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.
