Ika Teriyaki

Directions

1. 1
   Season the squid steaks with salt. Set them aside
2. 2
   In a small sauce pan add the sake, mirin, zest and sugar and place it over medium heat. Bring it to a boil.
3. 3
   Add the orange juice and soy sauce. Bring it back to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer.
4. 4
   Place a large cast iron skillet over hight heat. Turn on your exhaust fan. When the pan is super duper hot add a splash of oil and then place a squid steak into the pan. Sear it till it browns. Flip it and sear the other side.
5. 5
   Unless you could fit both steaks into the pan comfortably, repeat step 4 with the second steak and at the end of the cooking add the teriyaki sauce to deglaze the pan.
6. 6
   Put the other steak back into the pan and warm it. Remove the squid to a cutting board and slice it then plate it. Let the sauce continue to reduce till it just becomes syrupy.
7. 7
   Sauce the squid, top with green onions and serve.
