Beef Misoyaki

Directions

1. 1
   Freeze steaks for 45 minutes or so until they are firm and partially frozen, then remove excess fat and slice very thin; place in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag.
2. 2
   In a small skillet, toast sesame seeds over high heat, swirling pan, being careful not to burn; remove from heat and cool.
3. 3
   Place sesame seeds in a mortar and grind finely (but do not grind into a paste) or you may use a small coffee grinder set on pulse.
4. 4
   Place sesame seeds in a small bowl and mix with miso, soy sauce, sugar, and sake (it should have the consistency of runny peanut butter).
5. 5
   Add mixture to meat and work through as a marinade.
6. 6
   Allow meat to marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
7. 7
   Heat a large skillet or griddle on high and add a little oil, and cook beef without crowding (you may want to cook half at a time).
8. 8
   Cook beef about 3-5 minutes or until done to your liking.
9. 9
   Or you may place meat in broiler or grill and cook several minutes or until cooked through.
10. 10
    Serve with steamed rice if you wish, and a stir-fried vegetable cooked with ginger and a little soy goes nicely as well.
