Beef Tartare
You have a velvety steak seasoned with the spicy kick of gochujang that brings a delightful kick to this dish. And that, my friends, is where most recipes end. But not yours. You top this luxurious fiery blend on a crackling base of fried rice. Just trust me on this when I say the combination of textures and flavors are to die for!
Ingredients
- 8-10 oz tenderloin See Chef's Tips
- 1.5 tbsp japanese mayo
- 1.5 tbsp gochujang
- 1 tsp mirin
- 1 tsp tamari
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1.5 tbsp chives
- 1 lemon zest
- Sliced serranos
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 cup calrose or sushi rice I cooked mine on a rice cooker, so followed those directions
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tbsp cane sugar
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare Rice Ahead
- Cook your rice and season with a pinch of salt, the rice vinegar and 1.5 tbsp sugar
- Put parchment paper into a large mold or a couple smaller ones and press the cooked rice into it really well until about 3/4 inch thickness. Cover and let sit in the freezer for 1 hr 30 min-2 hours. The idea is to have it pretty hard but not frozen solid.
- Put the whole steak in the freezer about 30 minutes before slicing as well as the knife you will be using.
Crispy Rice and Steak Tartare
- Cut the rice into small squares
- Fry the rice until golden, about 10 min total. Try not to disturb them too much. You want them to be able to sear and hold their shape. Yields about 8-10 squares
- Chop the tenderloin pretty small by hand and drizzle with olive oil
- Add the beef to a bowl with the mayo, gochujang, mirin, tamari, sesame seeds, sesame oil, chives and lemon zest
- Spoon the tartare onto the rice and top with serranos. Enjoy with a tamari, lemon and scallions sauce and that is it!
