Air Fryer Japanese Style Steak Recipe
Learn how to cook a perfect medium rare Japanese style (Wafu) steak cooked with an air fryer.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1.15 lbs Choice of steak around an inch thick
I used chuck eye - Salt and pepper
Garnish
- 6 oz Daikon radish
- 6 Cloves Garlic
- 3 Stalks of green onion
- 2 oz Ponzu sauce
Instructions
- Thinly slice the garlic cloves.
- Slice the green onions.
- Grate the daikon using a daikon grater. Drain some of the excess liquid by lightly squeezing the grated daikon.
- Season the steaks lightly with a small amount of salt and pepper and place in
the air fryer. Try not to season the steak too much. The ponzu sauce
will provide enough saltiness. - Set the air fryer for 8 minutes at 390F. Flip once after 5 minutes and
resume cooking for the last 3 minutes. Remove the steak from the air
fryer and let it rest for a few minutes. - Remove the basket and crisper plate and place thinly sliced garlic at the
bottom of the bin with the steak fat. Air fry at 390F for 4-5 minutes or until crispy. - Top the steak with daikon first, followed by the green onion and crispy
garlic. Lastly, pour the ponzu sauce over the garnishes and steak.
Notes
It might be hard to find a daikon grater in the States. I’m guessing a blender should work fine for grating the daikon radish.
