Gyuuniku no Tataki - Quick Seared Beef
A tataki is a quick seared dishes served with a dipping sauce, and often considered as a sashimi dish. Since it is a quick seared, try to cook the beef to rare or medium rare. Even if you are squeamish with eating rare steak, please don’t cook the beef anymore than medium.

The salad is optional though I love combining the beef slices with a light salad to make a meal in itself. The ponzu sauce (soy sauce + lemon sauce) and condiments (grated daikon, grated ginger, and sliced scallions) are not optional and should be part of the dish.
