Steak Donburi
Pan-fried beef steak with savory soy butter sauce over steamed rice
Ingredients
- 2 New York Strip or sir loin steaks
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp sake
- 3 Tbsp mirin
- 1 tsp oil
- 1 Tbsp butter
- steamed rice
- lettuce
- thinly sliced green onion
Instructions
- Sprinkle salt all over the steaks and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Mix the soy sauce, sake, and mirin in a bowl and set aside.
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat with oil. Cook the steaks for 2–3 minutes until nicely browned, then turn them over and cook for another 2 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture over the steaks and cook for about a minute, coating them well. Remove the meat from the pan and let it rest. Meanwhile, reduce the sauce slightly in the pan. Add the butter, stir to combine, and remove from the heat.
- Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces. Put steamed rice in a bowl, layer lettuce over the rice, and place the meat on top. Spoon the sauce over the meat and garnish with thinly sliced green onion.
