Strip Loin with Puffed Rice / Tanuki, Miami – WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports | Fort Lauderdale

(WSVN) – A restaurant featured in Miami Spice dishes out a good steak. Time to grab a Bite with Belkys.

The Chef: Gustavo Montes
The Restaurant: Tanuki, Miami
The Dish: Strip Loin with Puffed Rice

Ingredients:
10 oz prime strip loin
salt
pepper
butter
dry wild rice
microgreens

Ponzu Sauce:
2 tablespoons mirin
1 strip kombu (kelp)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
½ cup bonito flakes
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup mixed citrus juice

Method of Preparation:

• Season strip loin with salt and pepper on both sides, and grill to rare (cook to 125 degrees).
• After flipping, add butter and let it melt, then take the steak off the grill and let it rest.

Puffed rice:

• Use a regular serving amount. Clean the rice, then fill a saucepan with water, bring to a boil and add rice.
• Cook over low heat for 30 minutes until rice has absorbed all the water.
• Spread the rice on paper towels and allow it to completely dry.
• Fry in oil at 400F until puffed. Add a few grains to the oil first to determine if it is hot enough. Add a 1/2 cup at a time. Rice will puff up quickly, so have a wire mesh spider ready to take it out.
• Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt.

Ponzu sauce:

• Combine all ingredients in a clean jar or other airtight container and allow to steep in the refrigerator overnight.
• Strain to remain solids.
• Store in the refrigerator.

To Plate:

• After resting the steak, trim the fat and slice.
• Add to a plate, and top with microgreens and puffed rice.
• Finish with ponzu sauce.
