Miso Sesame Grilled Blade Steaks Recipes

MISO STEAK

Steps:

• Tip the miso paste, Sherry or sake, sugar and garlic into a sealable food bag. Season with a generous grinding of black pepper, then squash it all together until completely mixed. Add the steak, gently massage the marinade into the steak until completely coated, then seal the bag. Pop the bag into the fridge and leave for at least 1 hr, but up to 2 days is fine.
• To cook, heat a heavy-based frying pan, griddle pan or barbecue until very hot. Wipe the excess marinade off the steak, then sear for 3 mins on each side for medium-rare or a few mins longer if you prefer the meat more cooked. Set aside for 1 min to rest. Carve the beef into thick slices and serve with a crunchy salad made with the spinach, cucumber, celery, radish and sesame seeds.

MISO SESAME GRILLED BLADE STEAKS

Steps:

• Whisk together all ingredients except steaks. With kitchen shears in middle of steaks, snip once through center gristle to prevent curling. Pat steaks dry and coat with miso mixture. Let stand 10 to 20 minutes.
• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see grilling procedure
• Oil grill rack, then grill steaks, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, 4 to 6 minutes total for medium-rare.
• Serve with: Spicy Napa cabbage slaw and steamed rice

GRILLED SESAME STEAK

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sesame seeds in hot oil until golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer seeds and oil immediately to a large glass or ceramic baking dish.
• Stir onions, soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, garlic, and peppercorns into sesame mixture until marinade is evenly combined. Place steak into marinade, turning to coat all sides. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate, turning steak often, for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook the steak on the preheated grill until meat starts to firm and turns reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium rare. Transfer steak to a plate, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest for about 10 minutes. Slice across the grain.

MISO-GLAZED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, miso paste, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and garlic in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
• Spread miso mixture generously on both sides of skirt steaks. Sprinkle with black pepper. Allow to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• Prepare a charcoal grill for medium-high heat. Place steak on the grill and cook without moving for about 2 minutes. Turn steaks 180 degrees to create cross-hatch grill marks, and cook another 2 minutes. Flip steaks and continue cooking until medium-rare to medium on the inside, and shiny on the outside, about 4 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 135 degrees F (57 degrees C). Allow to rest for 5 minutes.

MISO-GLAZED SALMON STEAKS

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; brush lightly with vegetable oil. Place salmon steaks on prepared baking sheet. Whisk miso, mirin, vinegar, ginger, and sesame oil in a small bowl to blend. Spread half the miso mixture over salmon steaks; season lightly with salt. Turn salmon steaks over and spread with remaining miso mixture; season lightly with salt. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
• Position an oven rack 6"-8"from broiler and preheat. Broil salmon, turning once, until golden brown and just opaque in center, 10-12 minutes total.
• Transfer salmon steaks to plates and serve with lime wedges.
