Ingredients
- 1 piece A5 Wagyu steak
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 1/2 oz daikon
- salt
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 3 1/2 oz beech mushrooms
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Soy Reduction Sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp hondashi
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- 1Heat a large skillet over medium‑high heat until a drop of water sizzles.
- 2Place the frozen A5 Wagyu steak directly in the hot pan; sear for 4–5 minutes on each side, flipping frequently to achieve an even crust while the interior remains blush pink.
- 3Transfer the steak to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest while the pan stays hot.
- 4Add the soy sauce, hondashi, and sugar to the same pan, stirring to dissolve any browned bits, then reduce the mixture over medium heat until it thickens into a glossy glaze (about 2–3 minutes).
- 5Slice the rested steak against the grain into 1‑inch thick pieces and drizzle the soy‑reduction glaze over the slices.
- 6While the steak rests, prepare the pickled daikon: place the sliced daikon in a bowl, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, let sit for 5 minutes to draw out moisture, then toss with a pinch of sugar and the sesame oil.
- 7In a separate pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (347°F). Deep‑fry the beech mushrooms until browned and lightly crisp, about 2–3 minutes; drain on paper towels.
- 8Plate the seasoned sushi rice, arrange the sliced steak on top, add the soy‑cured egg yolk, scatter the pickled daikon, and garnish with the fried mushrooms.
- 9Serve immediately and enjoy the contrast of rich Wagyu, savory reduction, and bright pickles.
