Gyuniku tataki is a Japanese beef dish made by briefly searing beef fillet over high heat, leaving the centre rare, then slicing it thinly and serving it with a soy-based ponzu sauce. The exterior browns while the inside stays close to rare, keeping the texture exceptionally tender.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the beef

10 min

Rub the beef fillet with salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to come to room temperature.

2

Make the ponzu sauce

5 min

Mix the soy sauce, lemon juice and ginger to make the ponzu sauce.

3

Sear the beef

6 min

Heat the oil until very hot and sear the beef on each side for about 1 minute, 6 minutes in total, leaving the centre rare.

4

Cool it down quickly

10 min

Wrap the seared beef in a towel soaked in ice water and rest it for 10 minutes; this quick cooling stops the meat from cooking further.

5

Slice and serve

5 min

Slice the beef paper-thin, drizzle with the ponzu sauce, and garnish with spring onion and sesame seeds before serving.

Reminder

Do not slice the beef right after searing — the ice-towel cooling step stops the cooking and keeps the juices from escaping. Slicing it paper-thin lets the ponzu penetrate better. Allergens: contains soy and sesame.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you use a lower-sodium soy sauce, you may need to balance the saltiness with a bit more lemon juice.

Eti buzlu havluyla sarmak yerine doğrudan buzdolabına koysam aynı etkiyi yaratır mı, yoksa soğuma çok mu yavaş olur? Ayrıca dana bonfile yerine antrikotla da deniyor musunuz?

Buzdolabı da işe yarar ama daha yavaş soğur, bu yüzden etin biraz daha fazla pişmeye devam etmesine izin verirsiniz. Antrikot da güzel sonuç verir, sadece yağ oranı biraz daha yüksek olur.
