Ingredients

• 500 grams steak (sirloin or ribeye)
• 120 milliliters sake
• 60 milliliters soy sauce
• 60 milliliters mirin
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 cup white rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 stalks scallions (sliced)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine sake, soy sauce, mirin, grated ginger, minced garlic, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves to form the marinade.

Step 2

Place the steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

While the steak marinates, rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a medium saucepan, then bring to a boil.

Step 4

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the rice simmer for 15-18 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the marinade, pat it dry with paper towels, and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

In a large skillet or grill pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time for your desired doneness.

Step 7

Once the steak is cooked, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice it thinly against the grain.

Step 8

Serve the sliced steak over a bed of steamed rice. Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!
