3 New York strip steaks
3/4 c Soy sauce
3/4 c Sake
1/2 c Mirin
2 c Dashi
Mix together soy sauce, sake, mirin and dashi. (Sake
and Mirin wines can be bought in most liquor stores.
Dashi, a base for Japanese soup stock,is available in
most Oriental stores.) Bring to boil.Add steak and
return to boil.Cook 3 to 5 minutes.Be careful not to
overcook the meat;it should be rare on the inside.
Remove steak,wrap in foil and refrigerate overnight.
Continue boiling,cooking until liquid has reduced to a
thick sauce. You can tell when it is done,because the
sauce makes large, slow bubbles when it is ready.Be
careful; otherwise the sauce will burn. Refrigerate
overnight. To serve: Cut all fat from steaks. Slice in
very thin slices. Arrange on a plate. Just before
serving; pour 1 tsp. of reduced cooking sauce over
meat. You can also garnish with a little chopped green
onion. For an appetizer serving, allow 5 to 7 slices
per person. Serves 6.
