Beef Tataki

This Japanese preparation celebrates the pure flavor of premium beef through minimal cooking. The finest tenderloin is briefly seared over high heat, creating a paper-thin crust while maintaining a ruby-red interior. Immediately plunged into an ice bath to halt cooking, then sliced gossamer-thin against the grain. Served with a bright ponzu dipping sauce, pickled ginger, fresh wasabi and a scatter of toasted sesame. Elegant simplicity that demands the highest quality beef.
