Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef tenderloin
- 60 milliliters Soy sauce
- 30 milliliters Rice vinegar
- 15 milliliters Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 pieces Scallions, finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the marinade: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Mix well and set aside.
Step 2
Remove any excess fat from the beef tenderloin and season it with black pepper.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a thick-bottomed frying pan over high heat until very hot.
Step 4
Sear the beef tenderloin on all sides, about 1-2 minutes per side, to create a nice crust while keeping the inside rare. Remove from heat.
Step 5
Quickly plunge the seared beef into an ice bath for about 1 minute to stop the cooking process, then pat dry with paper towels.
Step 6
Place the beef in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Cover and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to absorb the flavors.
Step 7
After marinating, slice the beef thinly against the grain with a sharp knife.
Step 8
Arrange the slices on a platter and garnish with finely sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
Step 9
Drizzle some of the remaining marinade over the slices just before serving.
