Food

225g kobe beef, see cook's note
For the dipping sauce: 2 tbsps wasabi powder 1½ tbsps water 1 tsp minced garlic 1½ tbsps chilli sauces (recommended: Mae Ploy Sweet chilli Sauce) 90ml soy sauce 1½ tbsps white vinegar 1 tsp lime juice 50ml canola oil 1 tbsp chopped spring onionFor hibachi coleslaw: 55g daikon root, cut into matchstick-sized pieces 55g red pepper, cut into matchstick-sized pieces 55g carrot, peeled, cut into matchstick-sized pieces 25g fresh chives, cut into matchstick-sized pieces 25g pea sprouts, cut into matchstick-sized pieces

Method
Kobe beef with dipping sauce and hibachi coleslaw Dipping sauce:1) Combine the wasabi and water to make a paste. Using a blender or a mixing bowl with a whisk, add the remaining ingredients except the oil and onion, and blend or whisk until well combined. 2) Emulsify by pouring the oil slowly into the blender while it is running or mixing bowl while mixing. Stir in the onion and set aside.Hibachi coleslaw:1) Using a mandoline or knife, cut the carrots and daikon to a matchstick size. Using your knife, cut the red pepper into the same shape as the daikon and carrot. Cut the chives in the same manner. 2)Toss all vegetables together with the pea sprouts. Season with salt and pepper and 1 tbsp dipping sauce.Beef:1) In the restaurant, we serve raw slices of kobe beef with a hibachi. The customers then cook the beef at the table on a hot stone. For home use, I suggest cutting the beef fillet into quarters lengthwise. Season well with salt and pepper, to taste. 2) Quickly sear the beef on all sides in a very hot sauté pan with cooking oil. Let the meat rest for 2 to 3 minutes then slice across the grain into very thin slices. Serve beef with the dipping sauce and coleslaw. Cook's note: Kobe beef can be difficult to find. It may not be something you can find at your local butcher. If it cannot be found, I suggest using a prime cut of beef. In the restaurant we use a whole kobe prime rib. This, however, requires a lot of butchery. For home use, I suggest using the beef fillet. You can ask your butcher for a cleaned centre cut of the beef fillet.
