Quantities above make four portions. Calorie count is per serving.

Method

  1. Slice garlic paper-thin and fry in oil until golden for garlic chips. Drain.
  2. Season wagyu with salt. Sear in a smoking-hot pan for 30 seconds per side. Immediately ice-bath to stop cooking.
  3. Pat dry and slice as thin as possible against the grain.
  4. Arrange slices on a chilled plate, drizzle with ponzu.
  5. Top with grated daikon, shiso, garlic chips, scallions, and sesame seeds.

Timing

Allow roughly 4 minutes of preparation and 11 minutes of cooking. Read the method through once before you start so nothing waits on a pan you could have had going already.
