Main Ingredient

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fillet

    Take the Japanese Kagoshima A5 fillet out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to an hour before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Fillet

    Sprinkle sea salt and black pepper evenly over both sides of the fillet. Then, drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the fillet, ensuring it is well-coated.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Fillet

    Preheat a skillet or grill over high heat. Once hot, add the fillet to the skillet. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until a nice crust forms and it reaches your desired level of doneness.

  2. 4

    Rest the Fillet

    Remove the fillet from the heat and allow it to rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes to let the juices redistribute.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Slice and Garnish

    After resting, slice the fillet against the grain into thin pieces. Arrange them on a serving plate, then sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top for garnish.
