Yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) with Furikake
Yakiniku with Furikake is a delicious Japanese dish that combines the flavors of grilled meat, typically beef or pork, with furikake seasoning. Yakiniku refers to the style of grilling bite-sized pieces of meat, while furikake is a Japanese seasoning typically made from a mixture of dried seaweed, sesame seeds, salt, sugar, and other ingredients. Here's a simple recipe to make Yakiniku with Furikake:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450 grams) thinly sliced beef or pork
- Yakiniku sauce (available in Asian grocery stores or you can make your own)
- Furikake seasoning
- Cooking oil
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- If using beef or pork, slice it into thin pieces, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
- Brush some cooking oil onto the grill or grill pan to prevent sticking.
- Once the grill is hot, place the meat slices on it and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- While grilling, brush the yakiniku sauce onto the meat slices, ensuring they are evenly coated. You can use a basting brush or simply drizzle the sauce over the meat.
- Once the meat is cooked and nicely glazed with the sauce, remove it from the grill and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Sprinkle furikake seasoning generously over the grilled meat. You can choose a furikake blend that suits your taste preferences.
- Serve the yakiniku with furikake immediately while it's still hot. It can be enjoyed as a standalone dish or with steamed rice and some side dishes like pickles or salad.
Enjoy your Yakiniku with Furikake!
