Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. vegetable oil

• 8 fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems tips removed

• 2 x 250 g wagyu sirloin steaks

• 2 tbsp. soy sauce

• 2 tbsp. mirin

• 2 tbsp. sake

• Small pinch of bonito flakes

• 1 x 1 cm piece of ginger, finely grated to release its juices

• ½ apple, finely grated to release its juices

• Salt and pepper

• ½ bunch spring onions, finely chopped

Instructions

1. Heat a barbecue over high heat or alternatively heat a grill pan on a stovetop over a high.
2. For the marinade, place the soy, mirin, sake and bonito flakes into a small pot. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the ginger and apple. Steep for while you cook the steaks.
3. Drizzle the steak with oil and season with a very small pinch salt and pepper. Do the same for the mushrooms. Grill the meat on each side for 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or cook to your liking. I like to turn my meat 4 times throughout this cooking process for an even pink colour throughout the meat. While you're grilling the steaks, grill the mushrooms for 1 minute on each side to impart a smoky flavour but don't entirely cook them through.
4. Place the cooked steak and mushrooms directly into the marinade and rest for 3 minutes on each.
5. Slice the steak against the grain. Arrange mushroom on platter and top with the steak, and a drizzle of the marinaded. Garnish with spring onion.
