Treat yourself to a succulent steak paired with a French-Japanese inspired sauce. You’re guaranteed to lick your plate clean.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon mirin (see note)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons mushroom (see note) or regular soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 4 x 200g beef rump steaks
- 2 bunches thin asparagus, trimmed
- 120g mixed mushrooms (such as shiitake and enoki)
- 1/2 teaspoon caster sugar
- 1 cup (250ml) Massel chicken style liquid stock
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white (shiro) miso paste (see note)
- 2 tablespoons thickened cream
- 2 tablespoons snipped chives
Method
- Step 1Combine mirin, sesame oil, 2 tablespoons soy and 1 tablespoon sunflower oil in a bowl. Brush over steak and asparagus, then set aside while you make the sauce.
- Step 2Heat remaining sunflower oil in a frypan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and soften for 1-2 minutes. Stir in sugar, stock, miso, cream and remaining soy, bring to the boil, then cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes until sauce is thickened slightly. Keep warm.
- Step 3Heat a chargrill pan over high heat. Cook steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until done to your liking. Place on a plate and leave to rest, covered loosely with foil. Cook asparagus, turning, for 1-2 minutes, until just tender and lightly charred.
- Step 4Slice steak on an angle and place on plates with asparagus. Top steak with sauce and garnish with chives.
