- Cook your steak to a perfect medium rare, at medium high heat for 4 - 5 minutes on each side. Cook until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness, then remove from heat.
- Transfer to a plate or cutting board and allow the cooked steak to rest for about 5 minutes, or half your cooking time.
- The slice and serve as desired. Enjoy!
This red miso steak is wonderful on its own, but even more incredibly tasty when you make some of my hibachi dipping sauces to serve with it! Try my hibachi ginger sauce, hibachi mustard sauce or yum yum sauce to really make this complete!!
