Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef tenderloin
• 60 milliliters Gluten-free soy sauce
• 30 milliliters Rice vinegar
• 30 milliliters Mirin
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Mix well and set aside as the tataki dipping sauce.

Step 2

Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully sear the beef, rolling it in the pan to ensure all sides are browned evenly. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes per side, keeping the interior rare.

Step 4

Immediately transfer the seared beef to an ice bath to stop cooking and cool it rapidly. Once cooled, pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 5

Thinly slice the beef against the grain into bite-sized pieces.

Step 6

Arrange the beef slices on a serving platter. Pour over a little of the prepared dipping sauce and reserve the rest for serving alongside.

Step 7

Garnish the beef tataki with finely chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

Step 8

Serve immediately, allowing guests to dip slices into the additional dipping sauce as desired.
