Japanese Steak Bowl

• servings: 2 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 22 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb steak (I used NY Strip, see note 1)

Salt (to taste)

Black pepper (to taste)

¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup mirin

2 tbsp sake

2 tbsp sugar

Scallions

Egg yolk

Directions

Season both sides of your steak generously with salt and black pepper and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened, then remove from the heat.

Add oil to a pan over high heat and let it get screaming hot. Add your steak and cook for about 6 minutes total, flipping every 30 seconds to build an even crust.

Remove the steak and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Place your sliced steak over a fresh bowl of rice, spoon over your sauce, and top with scallions. Optionally add an egg yolk.
