Serving : 6

Ingredients

• 15ml/1 tbsp oil

• 60ml/ 4 tbsp soy sauce

• 30ml/2 tbsp mirin or medium sherry

• 5ml/1tbsp soft light brown sugar

• 15ml/1 tbsp ginger juice (see Cook’s tip)

• 1 garlic clove, crushed

• 500mg/1¼lb rump steak, about 2.5cm/1in thick, in one piece if possible

• Sansho pepper

• 1 mooli, peeled

• 30ml/2 tbsp wasabi paste and fresh coriander sprigs, to garnish

Directions

• Mix the oil, soy sauce, mirin or sherry, sugar, ginger juice and garlic in a large shallow dish. Add the steak and turn to coat both sides. Leave in a cool place to marinate for at least 4 hours, turning from time to time.

• Preheat a grill, ridged cast-iron grill pan or barbecue, and grill the steak for 3-5 minutes on each side. Season with sansho pepper.

• To prepare the Japanese-style garnish, grate the mole and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Place a little pile of grated mooli, with 7.5ml/ ½ tsp of wasabi paste and a coriander sprig on each of four plates.

• With a sharp knife, slice the steak into thin diagonal slices and arrange on the plates with the garnish.
