Sake Steak And Rice Recipes

Steps:

• In a large wok or on a griddle, scramble the eggs in 1 tablespoon of the butter over low to medium heat. Remove from the wok and set aside on a plate. Melt the additional 2 tablespoons of butter in the wok or on the griddle over high heat. Add the garlic and carrots, stirring constantly. After 1 to 2 minutes, stir in the cooked rice and soy sauce. Toss to thoroughly incorporate the ingredients. Add the cooked eggs and onion and mix in the gomasio and black pepper to taste; cook for another 6 to 8 minutes, or until the rice is warmed through and the flavors incorporated. Serve immediately alongside grilled meats or a teriyaki-style main dish. Tips: Make your fried rice stand out by varying the ingredients. Yumiko Kanou, chef and owner of the Tokyo restaurant Nakaiseki Sen, leaves out the egg, butter and gomasio and adds pine nuts, sesame oil and chiles de arbol to her brown fried rice. A splash of sake added along with the soy sauce adds another layer of flavor to fried rice, too. Cook the rice the day before and refrigerate it overnight. Refrigerated rice is less likely to stick together when fried, so you'll get separated grains, rather than a mushy mass. To give the rice even more flavor, cook it in chicken or vegetable broth. That Steakhouse Flavor Although this recipe is a close approximation of Japanese steakhouse fried rice, it can't duplicate it exactly. Teppanyaki-style restaurants usually cook the rice straight on the grill that's used to cook the meat and multiple other dishes. This imparts a flavor into the rice that's unique and almost impossible to replicate without a highly seasoned grill.

Steps:

• 1. In a frezeer bag or covered container, combine marinad ingredients, and add the steak. Leave to marinate a few hours or leave in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• 2. Let the steak come to room tempature before you start cooking, and you can put on the rice on at the same time. Follow packet instructions for the rice, or rice cooker handbook or just put the rice in a pan, bruise the cardamon pods and put them in the rice. NOTE: Nigella never salts the rice, but it's up to you if you chose to do so.
• 3. Heat a griddle pan and then get the steaks out of the marinade, cook the steaks 2 minutes a side or so, and remove the steaks, double wrap them in foil. Let them rest 10 minutes.
• 4. Bring the sake to a boil in a saucepan, to let the alcohol evaporate. Take the pan of the heat and add the other sauce ingredients. Unwrap the steaks, removing to a wooden board for carving as you do so, and pour the red juices gathered in the foil into the pan of sauce. Arrange the rice on two plates or one big serving platter, and slice the steak into thin diagonal slices. Lay carved steak on top of rice and spoon over the sauce. Scatter the cilantro on top.

Steps:

• Combine first 6 ingredients in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Add meat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 1 day. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before continuing.
• Cook asparagus in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold water to cool. Drain again.
• Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add red bell pepper strips and sauté 3 minutes. Add crimini mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Add green onions and asparagus and sauté until vegetables are tender, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer vegetables to serving platter. Tent with foil to keep warm.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil in same skillet over high heat. Remove steak from marinade; reserve marinade. Add steak to skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to cutting board. Tent with foil and let stand 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place reserved marinade in small saucepan. Whisk in cornstarch. Whisk over high heat until sauce thickens and boils, about 3 minutes. Remove sauce from heat. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cut steak across grain on diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange steak slices atop vegetables on platter. Spoon some of sauce over meat and vegetables. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.
