Tataki is a typical Japanese preparation in which beef (or fish) is seared on the outside, left very rare inside, thinly sliced and served with a citrusy soy sauce. This recipe delivers the citrus flavour from ponzu with a hint of heat from chilli and wasabi.

Directions
To make the marinade for the beef, add all ingredients except the beef together in a bowl and whisk until well incorporated.
Set aside 3 tablespoon of the marinade to serve at the table.
Add the beef fillet to the marinade, cover with cling wrap and chill in fridge for 1 to 2 hours, but preferably longer.
Once ready, cook the marinated beef on a hot BBQ or grill pan to your liking.
Traditionally the tataki should be rare to medium-rare.
Allow to rest for 10 minutes then cut into very thin slices with a sharp knife.
To make the dressing, strain the marinade you have set aside and add the additional ponzu and mirin.
Assemble the sliced beef on a platter and scatter with rocket leaves, edamame, extra chilli and drizzle liberally with the dressing.
