Ingredients
2 (12 oz) Certified Angus Beef® N.Y. Strip Steaks
1/4 cup shio koji
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
1. Marinate Steaks: Place the strip steaks in a vacuum bag or heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag. Add the shio koji to the steaks and coat evenly. Vacuum seal (if using vacuum bags) and refrigerate for one hour.
2. Prepare Sous Vide: Prepare a circulator water bath to 130°F. Place the sealed steaks in the water and circulate for a minimum of one hour (or up to two hours).
3. Preheat Grill: Prepare a charcoal or gas grill and preheat to 450°F. Remove the steaks from the bag, pat dry with a paper towel, wiping off as much koji as possible (excess marinade may char during grilling). Season with salt and pepper.
4. Grill Steaks: Grill the steaks for 1.5 minutes, then rotate 90 degrees and sear for an additional 1.5 minutes on the same side. Flip and repeat on the second side, developing a nice char on each side.
5. Rest and Serve: Remove the steaks from the grill, cover with foil, and let rest for five minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
Marinating Tip: Ensure the steaks are evenly coated with shio koji to maximize flavor infusion.
Grilling Tip: Patting the steaks dry before grilling helps achieve a better sear and prevents burning.
Pairing Suggestion: Serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
