Instructions
- Occasionally flip it over and deep-fry the steak for a total of 1 minute to achieve the rare state. You can also extend the cooking time for a medium well or well done steak. Using the finely ground panko will allow you to coat the steak thinly and evenly, and help you fully enjoy the taste of the meat.
Recipe Notes
If you have a tough cut of meat, make shallow cuts on both sides every 5 millimeters before cooking. This will tenderize the steak.
If you are not a fan of rare meat, sear the cuts with a kitchen torch or lightly saute the surface.
Is sake the alcohol? I am still a minor, but i want to try the sauce
Yes. Sake contains alcohol. Chef uses regular drinking Sake in her recipes. 🙂
Hi! When you boil the sauce the alcohol evaporates, So no need to worry.
You can usually substitute sake with mirin, which you can purchase as a minor.
Both sake and mirin contain alcohol. When boiled, the alcohol evaporates. If you absolutely don’t want to use sake or mirin, we suggest dissolving a small amount of honey in hot water and adding it instead. 😊 Thank you for your comment!
