Ingredients

  • 200 g beef tenderloin (eye fillet)
  • spring onion garnish

Sauce

  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1/4 tsp wasabi

Instructions

  • Cut the beef into 1 inch cubes.
    Pro Tip: Beef tenderloin / eye fillet is a super tender cut of meat and does not need a tenderizer. The cubes should be bite-sized pieces, and its important to use tender meat so it's easy to chew. Another good alternative is wagyu beef.
  • Heat oil in a pan over high heat until it starts to smoke, then place in the beef cubes. Cook all 4 sides until they turn brown. This should take less than 2 minutes and set it aside.
  • Make the sauce with light soy sauce, mirin and wasabi. Drizzle the sauce on the beef cubes.
  • Pair it with rice, garnish with spring onion then serve!
