Cooking Time:
Featuring Pure Maple Syrup
2 portions
Metric Imperial

Ingredients

  • 200g sirloin steak, cut into four slices
  • 1 tbsp + ½ tsp soy sauce
  • 1 ½ tsp sake
  • 1 tbsp + ½ tsp pure maple syrup (preferably very dark syrup for its strong taste)
  • 1 ½ tsp sesame oil
  • 1 ½ tsp sesame seeds
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of pepper
  • 1 tsp ginger, freshly grated
  • ½ garlic clove, finely minced
  • Spring onion, finely chopped, to garnish
  • Sesame leaves, to garnish
  • Lettuce leaves, to garnish

Method

  1. Add the soy sauce, sake, maple syrup, sesame oil, sesame seeds, salt, pepper, ginger and garlic to a bowl and mix together.
  2. Pour the sauce over the sirloin steaks, leaving to marinate for at least a few hours but preferably overnight.
  3. Heat oil in a frying pan on high heat and sear the sirloin steaks for a few minutes so that they brown on both sides.
  4. Serve the sirloin steaks with the spring onions, sesame leaves and lettuce leaves.

Tender sirloin steak slices are marinated in a rich blend of soy sauce, sake, dark pure maple syrup, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic, allowing the flavours to deeply infuse. After a few hours — or overnight for maximum taste — the marinated beef is seared to perfection, creating a caramelised, golden-brown crust. Wrap in fresh lettuce and serve with spring onions and sesame leaves for a light meal.

The classification of maple syrup is based on its colour – which changes subtly throughout the spring harvest – and its flavour profile.
