This recipe is perfect for when you want a tender, juicy steak, but also something a bit more interesting. After searing, the beef simmers to perfection in savoury Asian flavours and orange juice. Served topped with fragrant orange zest, umami orange steak is bursting with fresh citrus!
The amazing sauce in this recipe consists of white miso paste, sesame oil, beef stock, ponzu, mirin, and fresh orange juice. These flavours go so perfectly with steak.
When plating, I topped the umami orange steak with freshly grated orange zest to enhance the citrus fragrance, and served it with my cilantro lime rice that is so easy to make. Such a delicious, refreshing take on an otherwise ordinary steak and rice dish!
Ingredients
- Steaks - I used 2.5cm thick ribeye steaks, about 450g each.
- Olive oil
- Salt
- White miso paste
- Beef stock
- Mirin
- Ponzu
- Sesame oil
- Orange juice, pulp-free
- Freshly grated orange zest
See the recipe card below for quantities.
Instructions
Set steaks out to rest a room temperature for 20 minutes, then coat with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Heat a medium pan over high heat and sear both sides of the steaks for 4 minutes per side. Remove the steaks and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium low and give pan a moment to cool slightly. Add miso and cook for 1 minute stirring while it 'softens'.
Add in beef stock, mirin, ponzu, and sesame oil. Cook for another minute and stir well to blend in miso.
Add in orange juice and steaks. Cook until steaks reach desired doneness, occasionally spooning sauce on top. I like to cook mine to medium-rare (about 130-135°F / 55-57°C using a meat thermometer).
Remove from heat and rest the steaks for 5 minutes before cutting them into strips. Serve the umami orange steaks topped with orange zest and spoon some of that delicious sauce on top.
Storage
Any leftover steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three to four days.
Top Tip
I really recommend cooking with an accurate food thermometer that will take all of the guess work out of cooking. With this tool you can achieve perfectly cooked steaks every time.
