How to Make Beef Misoyaki

  1. Freeze steaks (about 1 lb) for 45 minutes until firm but not completely frozen. Remove excess fat and slice thinly against the grain (about 1/8 inch thick).
  2. Place sliced beef in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag.
  3. In a small skillet, toast 1 tablespoon sesame seeds over high heat, swirling constantly, until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  5. Grind toasted sesame seeds finely using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the ground sesame seeds with 2 tablespoons miso paste, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon sake.
  7. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Gently massage the marinade into the meat.
  8. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  9. Heat a large skillet or griddle over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or canola).
  10. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.
  11. Alternatively, broil or grill the beef for several minutes per side, until cooked through.
  12. Serve immediately over steamed rice. Garnish with a side of stir-fried vegetables (e.g., broccoli, carrots) seasoned with ginger and a splash of soy sauce.
