A note about serious food allergies

This dish gets some lovely but subtle flavor from mirin – a slightly sweet Japanese rice wine. When paired with demi-glace and Japanese tonkatsu sauce, the result is a sweet and salty condiment that provides a huge flavor power-up. Fragrant white rice and glazed carrots are perfect foils for sirloin and umami-rich sauce. Tip: To peel the carrot with less effort, lay it down on your cutting board peel one half, rolling it as you peel. (Be sure to peel in a motion away from you!)

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Bring a small pot with rice and 11/2 cups water to a boil.

    Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until tender, 18-20 minutes.

    Remove from burner and set aside covered.

    While rice cooks, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel, trim, and cut carrot into 1/2" slices at an angle.

    Pat steaks dry, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Carrot Slices

    Bring a medium non-stick pan with 1/4 cup water, carrot slices, butter, and sugar to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until carrot slices are tender, 5-8 minutes.

    If pan becomes dry and carrot slices need more time, add another 1/4 cup water and continue cooking, 3-5 minutes.

    Uncover, and raise heat to high. Cook until water is evaporated and carrot slices are glazed, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove carrot slices to a plate and season with 1/4 tsp. salt. Tent with foil. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steaks

    Return pan used to cook carrot slices to medium-high heat.

    Add 1 tsp. olive oil and steaks to hot pan. Cook until steaks are browned and reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side.

    Remove steaks to a plate and sprinkle with seasoning blend. Rest steaks at least 5 minutes, then slice into 1/4" pieces.

    Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  5. 5

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    Return pan used to cook steaks to medium heat.

    Add 1/4 cup water, tonkatsu sauce, mirin, and demi-glace to hot pan and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, stir constantly until thickened slightly, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove pan from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, spooning sauce over steak slices. Bon appétit!
