Right here’s a Beef Tataki recipe, a contemporary Japanese favourite with thinly sliced beef in a citrusy dressing. Select a deluxe restaurant model with beef tenderloin, crispy potato straws, and garlic oil for entertaining, or a fast meal with steak and packet crispy shallots for Monday nights. Spectacular both approach!
This recipe is among the mains within the fusion Japanese banquet menu I shared yesterday, pictured beneath.
Beef tataki
Tataki is a Japanese dish the place a protein (normally fish or beef) is briefly seared on the surface, thinly sliced then served with a citrusy sauce. It’s a well-liked starter at trendy Asian eating places, the type of meals that appeals to everybody – meat lovers in addition to those that benefit from the extra refined Asian fusion dishes (suppose: Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Truffles, that type of factor!).
However it’s dish you pay dearly for, round $30 for a small serving (6 to eight slices) at greater finish eating places. So the plate pictured on this publish would price round $80 at a restaurant (plus parking plus wine plus all the things else!), in comparison with round $20 – $28 for the substances (the value of beef is an enormous variable).
My mom is fast to level out that beef tataki isn’t conventional, you solely discover fish tataki in Japan (right here’s her Tuna Tataki recipe). So beef tataki recipe falls exterior the area of RecipeTin Japan (“genuine Japanese recipes”) which provides me the uncommon alternative to publish a Japanese recipe. Albeit a contemporary one. I’ll take that!
Select: Restaurant v Monday-night model
Right now, I’m sharing two variations of Beef Tataki.
-
Restaurant: a copycat of beef tataki I’ve had at beautiful trendy Asian eating places right here in Australia and in Japan. Skinny slices of seared rare-cooked beef tenderloin with a Yuzu dressing, a mound of crispy potato straws and drizzled with garlic infused oil.
-
Monday-night Beef Tataki model: Named as such as a result of it’s easy sufficient to make midweek, and likewise a lighter strategy to serve steak than with richer steak sauces like Béarnaise and creamy sauces like Peppercorn or Mushroom Sauce (doesn’t everybody kick off the week swearing to “eat wholesome”? 😂)
Substances for Beef Tataki
As famous above, I’m providing two recipe choices right here – restaurant model vs and simple Monday night time possibility. So take your choose!
BEEF TENDERLOIN
Beef tenderloin is a lean, tender reduce of beef which makes it ideally suited for serving in a fragile dish like tataki. Due to the form, you get a bigger space of lovely uncommon cooked purple meat which makes this tataki extra-luxurious to eat.
Selecting the most effective beef tenderloin piece for tataki
-
Form – Select a chunk that’s thinner and longer (250g/8oz that’s 13 – 15cm / 5-6″ lengthy) as it’s simpler to slice thinly than giant thick blocks.
-
Brief and fats – If yours is shorter than 11.5cm / 4.5″ (which implies it’s wider), reduce it in half horizontally to kind 2 thinner items. It takes a really expert knife grasp to chop a thick piece of beef like that into skinny slices. (Partially freezing doesn’t work for such a thick piece both, you find yourself with stable outsides earlier than the within is semi-frozen).
-
Trim to uniform thickness so the meat cooks via evenly.
-
Weight – The recipe is written for a 250g/8oz piece however you should use a bigger piece if you want, there’s sufficient sauce.
-
High quality – As a result of that is cooked to uncommon, I like to recommend getting a very good high quality piece out of your native butcher. However there’s no must get premium high quality like I might (strongly) advocate if making uncooked beef dishes like beef tartare or carpaccio. If you happen to use a cost-effective piece, I’d advocate cooking the meat to at the very least medium uncommon and be ready to chop thicker slices (extra properly performed = meat breaks extra simply when finely sliced). Additionally, use an even bigger piece as a result of thicker slices = much less slices!
steak possibility for tataki
In principle, you can also make tataki with any reduce of steak, however my private preferences are:
-
beef tenderloin steaks (filet mignon)
-
sirloin/porterhouse (referred to as New York Strip within the US. To not be confused with what the US name porterhouse steaks which is the equal of T-bones right here in Australia). That is pictured beneath (fats trimmed). It’s a very good possibility as a result of it has a extra beefy flavour than tenderloin.
Each of those cuts are tender sufficient to serve for a dish like tataki and likewise they’re comparatively lean so that you received’t have giant chunks of chilly white fats.
yuzu dressing for tataki
Tataki is usually served with a citrusy dressing. I’ve opted for a selfmade ponzu-style sauce with the addition of Yuzu, a Japanese citrus which tastes like a mix of lime and lemons (wonderful subs!). The Yuzu provides this a contact of particular (eating places like it!) and distinct Japanese flavour.
Nonetheless, Beef Tataki is the type of dish that can work with varied Japanese/Asian type sauces so I’ve listed some various sauce choices beneath.
-
Cooking sake and mirin – two important sauces in Japanese cooking that may be discovered within the Asian aisle of enormous grocery shops as of late, in addition to Asian shops. They add depth of flavour into this sauce. If you happen to can’t eat alcohol or discover them, recommend utilizing one of many alternate sauces listed beneath.
-
Rice vinegar – substitute apple cider vinegar
-
Japanese soy sauce – or Chinese language gentle soy sauce or all goal soy sauce. Don’t use darkish soy sauce (too intense, it’ll break the dressing).
-
Yuzu – a distinctly Japanese citrus. Cooks undergo phases after they’re obsessive about this, with menus in every single place crammed with Yuzu this and Yuzu that! Discover it in Asian and Japanese grocery shops, they’re bought in small bottles like pictured beneath. Substitute with equal components lemon and lime juice (it’s really not far off).
various sauces
In case you possibly can’t eat alcohol or can’t get all of the substances for the Yuzu Dressing, listed here are various sauces/dressings that may also be terrific with beef tataki. If you happen to use any of those, don’t use the garlic oil as these dressings have already got oil in them.
one thing crunchy!
A crunchy garnish all the time works properly with these type of dishes, so as to add texture distinction. For the restaurant-style beef tataki possibility, I’m utilizing Crispy Potato Straws (blatant copycat from tataki I’ve had at eating places). These superfine fries are the right garnish as a result of they’re delicately crisp and you may pile them up excessive in order that they add visible curiosity.
I’ve posted them as a separate recipe as a result of they’re worthy! See Crisp Potato Straws (Pommes Paille).
Straightforward various – Rip open a packet of crispy fried shallots and sprinkle! They’re an ideal various – salty, crispy little pops of goodness. Pantry staple in my world – I take advantage of them so usually, I even wrote a publish about them!
Garlic infused oil
To get some beautiful garlic flavour into this dish, I’ve opted for garlic infused oil. I want this to, say, mixing garlic into the dressing (which generally is a little too harsh for delicate dishes like this). Garlic chips are a well-liked garnish possibility at eating places, however once more, I additionally discover that the flavour generally is a little too sturdy for this dish. However you do find yourself with crispy garlic chips, so be happy to make use of them!
Right here’s what you have to make the garlic infused oil:
Methods to make beef tataki

See FAQ for extra info on uncommon vs uncooked, and this methodology of cooking.
-
Gradual roast beef – Rub the meat with slightly oil and sprinkle of salt. Then roast* for round 20 minutes at a low temperature (130°C / 275°F^) or till the interior temperature is 41°C / 105°F.

There’s a very good quantity of garlic for only a little bit of oil, so that you get actually good however clean garlic flavour that enhances with out overwhelming the dish. Uncooked garlic in any kind is slightly harsh for a fragile dish like tataki, I discover.
-
Simmer & infuse – Place the garlic and oil in a tiny saucepan over low warmth. Simmer for five minutes till the garlic is pale golden. Then flip the range off and depart the oil to infuse for quarter-hour (the garlic will get slightly extra golden).
-
Pressure oil right into a small bowl. Reserve garlic chips for one more use (salad, poke bowl, noodles, fried rice!).
3. Yuzu dressing
The dressing has mirin and sake in it, in order that they must be simmered briefly to take away the alcohol (else they style slightly too “winey”).
-
Simmer the mirin and sake for 1 minute in a tiny saucepan.
-
Combine – Let it cool for a couple of minutes, then combine with the remaining Dressing substances.

Pile a mound of the crispy potato straws within the center. Pile excessive! Serve leftover potato straws on the aspect. They’ll disappear quick!

If you happen to don’t have time to attend for the steak to chill, serve it heat. It’s nonetheless soooo good!
-
Prepare dinner steak – Prepare dinner the steak to your liking in a screaming scorching forged iron pan. Eating places sometimes cook dinner it to uncommon (typically uncooked!) however you possibly can cook dinner it to your liking. (Observe: The extra properly performed the steak is, the tougher it’s to chop into tremendous slices because the meat is extra vulnerable to breaking). See the cooked temperature of steak within the recipe notes.
-
Slice – Relaxation then cool the steak for at the very least 1 hour, if time permits. Cool steak = simpler to chop thinly. Although having stated that, heat beef tataki is gorgeous!

(And sure, I completely realise how odd it sounds to incorporate instructions for methods to eat beef tataki however I really feel it’s my responsibility to make sure that with every bit of beef, you get a little bit of the toppings (particularly in the event you’ve made the crispy potato straws!) and also you squidge each bit of beef within the sauce earlier than placing it in your mouth.
Squidging is vital! Promise me you received’t neglect! – Nagi x
PS Reminder – this recipe options as a part of my particular fusion Japanese menu! Designed particularly with practicality in thoughts with a lot of it make-head.
Beef Tataki – Incessantly requested questions
Fish tataki (tuna is widespread) is a conventional Japanese dish. Beef Tataki is a bit more widespread as of late in Japan nevertheless it’s thought-about a extra trendy Japanese dish. However exterior of Japan, each fish and beef are fairly widespread. For my mom’s conventional Japanese Tuna Tataki recipe, see right here (on RecipeTin Japan).
I personally want uncommon beef tataki reasonably than uncooked. Eating places serve it each methods, although if it’s not paper skinny (which may be very onerous for house cooks to realize) it’s sometimes served uncommon reasonably than uncooked.
I take pleasure in uncooked beef for dishes like carpaccio and steak tartare the place the meat is finely chopped / sliced or pounded paper skinny. Beef tataki slices are a bit thicker – round 3 – 5 mm – so I want it to be uncommon.
I realise just a few millimetres sounds minuscule, nevertheless it actually does make the distinction! A bit an excessive amount of of a mouthful of uncooked meat sensation if it’s absolutely uncommon inside, as many recipes appear to direct. I do know, I’m sooo specific! 😂
Individuals all world wide eat uncooked beef – suppose, carpaccio and tartare – so uncommon is ok! In actual fact, there’s nothing fallacious with uncooked beef and our digestive system can actually deal with it. It’s simply that uncooked meals, whether or not or not it’s tomatoes or beef, carries extra danger of meals borne diseases as a result of cooking can kill the micro organism, parasites and many others. However nowadays, trendy meals dealing with and storage practices and legal guidelines defend us extra from meals borne sickness. Due to this, and that as of late, “all people” is aware of that steak is depressing when it’s cooked till gray and overdone, eating places cook dinner steaks to medium uncommon by default. And uncooked beef dishes are a staple at tremendous eating eating places – beef tartare is a French starter basic!
Nonetheless, as a result of we’re cooking the meat solely to uncommon, it is strongly recommended to get a very good high quality beef. You don’t must go rolls royce (which I’d advocate for uncommon beef dishes). However this isn’t the dish to make with end-of-shelf-life discounted beef. 🙂
Each beef tenderloin and steak is used for beef tataki. Usually at eating places, you’ll see premium steaks used (wagyu is a agency favorite). Thick reduce steak is finest. For a sublime house model, I go for beef tenderloin. I like how tender it’s, and that you just get a bigger floor uncommon of lovely uncommon beef and a smaller band of overcooked beef. Nonetheless, I don’t hesitate to make tataki with any steak!
I like to recommend utilizing steak as a substitute as a result of it is rather onerous to slice tenderloin thinly whether it is cooked past uncommon, the tremendous slices break fairly simply, as a result of the floor space of the meat is bigger. I discovered this out first hand myself once I by accident overcooked the meat to medium!
You received’t have this downside with steak as a result of the slices you’re chopping will probably be smaller. Usually, it’s a lot simpler to finely slice a steak reasonably than a tenderloin.
As famous above, I want my beef uncommon reasonably than uncooked for beef tataki. If you happen to solely sear beef tenderloin, the within is totally uncooked.
To cook dinner beef tenderloin so it’s uncommon from edge to edge, sluggish roasting at a low temperature is finest (it nonetheless solely takes 20 minutes). The upper the temperature, the thicker the band of overcooked beef and the upper the chance of by accident cooking it an excessive amount of (the window of time to get the interior temperature proper is way smaller at greater temperatures).
Additionally, the thicker the outer band of cooked beef, the tougher it’s to finely slice because it crumbles.
So, after making an attempt a handful of strategies, I discovered sluggish roasting to be the simplest, low-risk methodology that yields the most effective outcomes for edge-to-edge completely rare-not-raw beef with a really skinny seared crust (which accurately takes 10 seconds on the range). The decrease temperature roasting can also be the proved and much-loved methodology I take advantage of for premium cuts of roast beef together with prime rib (standing rib roast) and beef tenderloin roast.
If you happen to don’t have a meat thermometer, I like to recommend utilizing the better steak possibility reasonably than the meat tenderloin. It’s simply too dangerous utilizing a premium reduce of beef and making an attempt to guess the proper inner temperature for uncommon beef. It’s simpler to cook dinner a steak to uncommon as you possibly can inform by contact.
ABSOLUTELY, this can be a recipe good for sous-videing! Sous vide to 51°C/124°F (1 1/2 hours for a 250g/8oz tenderloin), pat dry then sear the floor very briefly (no must let it relaxation). Cool and chill per recipe (chilling makes it simpler to slice thinly).
Sous vide is definitely my first methodology of selection for this specific recipe as a result of it’s unattainable to overcook the meat, it’s “set and neglect” and it’s edge-to-edge completely uncommon beef, much more so than sluggish roasting. However I didn’t make it the bottom recipe as I assumed most house cooks don’t have sous vide gear.
The meat tenderloin must be cooked at the very least 3 hours forward to present it enough time to relax within the fridge which makes it simpler to chop into tremendous slices. The morning of for a dinner serving works properly. I don’t advocate making it the day earlier than as a result of meat is rarely as juicy when refrigerated in a single day.
Steak doesn’t must be chilled as lengthy as a result of it’s thinner however as with tenderloins, it too might be made the morning of.
The dressing might be made the morning of (I discover the yuzu flavour fades if made too far forward) and the crispy potato straws might be made as much as 5 days forward. They keep 100% crisp!
The primary problem with this recipe was the most effective methodology to cook dinner the meat tenderloin and with the ability to finely slice it. Listed below are a few of the strategies I attempted and challenges I got here throughout:
-
Typical methodology of fast sear adopted by roasting till the within was uncommon – resulted in a thick band of overcooked beef. An excessive amount of, for a dish like this. Additionally, the overcooked band had a bent to crumble when finely slicing which then result in the uncommon half tearing. Technique not ok!
-
Bringing the tenderloin absolutely to room temperature by leaving it out for two hours to assist it cook dinner via extra evenly to minimise the thickness of the band of overcooked meat. Didn’t make a lot distinction, nonetheless ended up with a thicker than ideally suited band and nonetheless crumbled once I finely sliced.
-
Only a fast sear of the tenderloin on the range, as typical recipes on-line advocate. Left the centre fully uncooked which was not appetising to me.
-
Semi-freezing the cooked tenderloin to assist finely slice, a typical methodology used for house cooking to finely slice uncooked meats. Didn’t work. The form of the tenderloin signifies that the surface freezes till nearly stable (ie too onerous to chop via) earlier than the within is agency sufficient to have the ability to finely slice and it took 5 hours. There’s no level solely freezing for a few hours because the outer layer corporations up however the inside is comfortable = nonetheless troublesome to chop skinny slices.
-
Cling wrap tightly to freeze. Didn’t work due to the overall semi-freezing challenge above.
-
Leaving cling wrap on to carry the tenderloin collectively as you slice. Solely works when you have a brilliant, tremendous sharp knife (else the cling wrap drags while you reduce down) and likewise very irritating to need to peel a skinny string of cling wrap off each single slice.Bigger tenderloin is way tougher to chop into tremendous slices. I can’t keep in mind the purpose that this realisation dawned on me, however that’s the reason why I like to recommend lengthy skinny formed beef tenderloin items.
-
Sous vide the tenderloin to perfection uncommon then briefly sear so the seared layer may be very, very skinny. Refrigerate for a very good 4 hours to essentially chill the meat then thinly slice. Labored very, very properly however not a chunk of kit most individuals have.
-
Gradual roasted within the oven then briefly seared to copy the sous vide impact within the oven. Labored almost as properly. Yay! Solved! This turned the bottom recipe.
-
Refrigerate cooked beef in a single day – labored tremendous properly for very thinly sliced beef (as beef that’s chilled for 12 hours+ turns into a lot firmer = simpler to slice thinly). However the meat simply wasn’t as juicy, even as soon as it was introduced again to room temperature. It’s actually finest to cook dinner and slice the meat on the identical day, capping the fridge time to six hours max, I discovered, to make sure the meat was nonetheless actually juicy.
-
All of this is irrelevant to steak! As a result of it’s a lot thinner than tenderloin (which is formed like a log), it’s a lot simpler to finely slice.
And there you go! Among the iterations and testing that I undertook for this recipe. I do know it sounds pedantic. However beef tenderloin is a premium reduce of beef, and this isn’t a fast ‘n simple one pot paste. So I need to give individuals the boldness that they will deal with this! And imagine me, there have been many, many completely satisfied volunteers to take leftovers! 🙂

Recipe Notes:
1. Beef tenderloin form – Thinner simpler to slice thinly, goal for ~13 – 15cm/5-6″ lengthy, 250g/8oz.

Additionally, reduce your piece to even thickness so it cooks evenly.
2. Steak possibility – Simpler to get, simpler to slice! Thicker reduce is best, for extra uncommon beef.
3. Different Asian sauces that can work properly right here (skip the garlic oil, these have already got oil in them):
