2 tbsp vegetable oil

Directions :

1. Season the beef rump steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

2. Mix the mirin, soy sauce and sake together in a bowl.

3. Heat a frying pan until hot, then add the oil and steaks and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes.

4. Pour the mix into the frying pan reducing the heat as much as possible.
