This recipe for Strip Steak with Japanese Dipping Sauce is from chef David Myers of Hinoki & the Bird in Los Angeles. He dries the fresh herbs for 2 minutes in the microwave before putting them on the steak.
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 15 mins
Yields: 4 Servings
Ingredients
2 sprigs rosemary plus leaves for serving
2 sprigs thyme plus leaves for serving
2 strip steaks (about 1” thick; 1½ pounds total), cut in half crosswise, room temperature
1 Tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cup ponzu
¼ cup finely grated carrot
¼ cup finely grated daikon (Japanese white radish)
Directions
1Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Place rosemary and thyme sprigs on a plate and microwave on high until brittle, about 2 minutes.
2Rub steaks with oil, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with herbs, crushing gently and pressing to adhere. Grill steaks to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest 5 minutes.
3Meanwhile, mix ponzu, carrot, and daikon in a small bowl. Top steaks with rosemary and thyme leaves; serve with dipping sauce.
