Tataki is a typical Japanese preparation in which beef or fish is seared on the outside, left rare inside, thinly sliced and served with a citrusy soy sauce known as "ponzu". In this version, Chef Dai serves the thin slices of Scotch Aberdeen Angus fillet steak on a bed of ultra fine red onions. Its then served with slices of skinless tomatotes, mustard cress, chopped spring onions, momiji oroshi (grated radish with chilli) and salted fried garlic chips. The vegetables provide a lovely crunchy texture which complements fantastically well with the tender, juicy and succulent beef. The citrusy ponzu sauce is light and has a refreshing and clean after taste. The tartness and sweetness of the sauce balances perfectly with the saltiness of the beef fillet.

Thanks for watching everyone!!!!
