Steak Salad With Miso Dressing Recipes

MISO DRESSING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk vinegar, miso, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey and ginger. Gradually whisk in oil until blended.

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 STEAK WITH NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad, simmer the broccoli in a large pan of boiling water for 3-4 mins. Meanwhile, cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain both and set aside.
• For the dressing, whisk the miso paste in a large bowl with the lemon juice, vinegar, ginger and oil. Toss with the cooked broccoli, noodles, red onion, carrots, tomatoes and sesame seeds.
• For the steak, heat a wok or frying pan over a medium heat and briefly stir-fry the garlic and ginger until they begin to colour. Add the steak and stir-fry for a few minutes until brown. Pile half on top of the noodle salad. Add the miso to the wok with 2 tbsp water to lift the ginger and garlic from the pan, then spoon over the meat. Serve half and chill the rest for another day. You can enjoy the leftovers chilled or reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. Will keep chilled for two days.
