Method
- Marinate the beef: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and garlic. Add steaks and toss to coat. Set aside while cooking rice.
- Prepare the salad: Wash and slice radish. Crush cucumber lightly in a tea towel and chop into bite-sized pieces. Combine with soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, spring onion, salt, and garlic. Toss gently.
- Cook the steaks: Heat a large pan over high heat until smoking. Remove steaks from marinade and pat dry. Add oil and cook for 1 minute per side. Remove from pan.
- Pour remaining marinade into the hot pan and reduce to a glaze. Spoon glaze over the steaks.
- Serve steaks over steamed rice with a generous helping of radish and sesame salad.

Tips
- Add a little sugar to marinades for quick-cooking steaks - it helps caramelise the surface beautifully.
- Start cooking rice first since it takes the longest.
- For extra tenderness, use minute steaks or slice tenderloin in half.
