Soy Marinated Wagyu With Congee Ginger And Scallion Recipes

SOY MARINATED WAGYU WITH CONGEE, GINGER AND SCALLION

Steps:

• Rinse rice until water runs clear, transfer to a small bowl, add the scallion oil and toss to mix well. Let this stand at room temp for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Soak the scallops in warm water to cover for 20 minutes, drain and flake into small pieces. Combine the rice, scallops, stock and water, bring to a boil, then reduce to med-low heat, stirring often. Simmer until rice is broken down into porridge. Season with salt, to taste.
• Combine all sauce ingredients.
• Marinate beef in sauce, quickly grill over very hot flames. Serve over warm congee, drizzle with sauce and garnish with fresh ginger and scallion.

GINGER SCALLION SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel ginger and cut into small pieces. Press about 1/2-inch piece of ginger in a garlic presser and squeeze ginger juice and small bits into a medium size bowl. Grate another 1/2-inch piece into same bowl. Finely chop the scallions and place in the same bowl. Add all other ingredients and mix well. Adjust by tasting and enjoy this fantastic Chinese dumpling dipping sauce.

GINGER SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix together the scallions, ginger, oil, soy, vinegar, and salt in a bowl. Taste and check for salt, adding more if needed. Though it's best after 15 or 20 minutes of sitting, ginger scallion sauce is good from the minute it's stirred together up to a day or two in the fridge. Use as directed, or apply as needed.

SOY SAUCE-MARINATED GRILLED FLANK STEAK AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil grate. Pat steak dry and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly score both sides of steak with the tip of a paring knife, making shallow parallel cuts (no deeper than an 1/8") about 1" apart and running across the grain of the meat (this will prevent the steak from curling as it cooks). Season generously all over with salt and pepper; let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, toss scallions on another baking sheet with 2 Tbsp. olive oil to coat; season with salt and pepper.
• Whisk mirin, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Sriracha, and sesame oil in a medium bowl until sugar is dissolved; set marinade aside.
• Pat steak dry again (the salt will have drawn out more moisture) and rub with remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Grill scallions, turning often, until tender and charred in spots, about 1 minute. Return to baking sheet. Grill steak, turning every 2 minutes or so, until medium-rare, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10-15 minutes.
• Thinly slice steak crosswise and arrange on a rimmed platter; drizzle all of the juices that have collected on the cutting board over. Arrange grilled scallions on top of the steak, then pour reserved marinade over. Let sit at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour before serving. To serve, sprinkle with sesame seeds as desired.
