Ingredients

2 tablespoons miso paste
1 tablespoon canola oil
4 x 100g Scotch fillet steaks
1 cucumber, sliced with a peeler in ribbons
4 radishes, thinly sliced
4 cups salad greens
4 tomatoes, cut in eighths
Dressing
3 tablespoons tahini or Japanese sesame paste
1 tablespoon mirin
1 teaspoon salt-reduced soy sauce
1 teaspoon castor sugar
1 tablespoon hot water
4 cups cooked jasmine rice
1 spring onion, sliced

Instructions

1 Combine miso paste with a little hot water and canola oil. Mix well. Coat steaks in miso mixture and set aside to marinate (or leave in fridge overnight).

2 Combine salad vegetables in a large bowl. Combine dressing ingredients in another bowl and mix well to combine, stirring until sugar dissolves.

3 Heat a heavy-based pan with a little oil spray over a high heat. Cook steaks to your liking — about 2 minutes each side for medium-rare. Set aside to rest for a few minutes.

4 Arrange salad on serving plates. Spoon dressing over. Plate thinly sliced beef alongside salad. Spoon pan juices over top. Serve rice on the side garnished with spring onions.
