The Method

How it's made

  1. 01

    Pat the salmon and beef dry and slice them into thin, bite-sized sashimi strips.

  2. 02

    Quickly sear the beef slices in a very hot pan for 10 seconds per side, leaving the center rare; leave the salmon raw.

  3. 03

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and wasabi paste to create a dressing.

  4. 04

    Arrange the wakame seaweed on a plate and top with alternating slices of the seared beef and raw salmon.

  5. 05

    Drizzle the wasabi dressing over the fish and beef, then garnish with toasted sesame seeds.

Ensure your knife is very sharp to get clean, paper-thin slices of the beef and salmon.
