Ingredients
Marinade
20ml Kikkoman teriyaki sauce
3-4 large potatoes
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 sprigs rosemary leaves
2 tbs olive oil
1.20kg beef rib-eye steaks, on the bone (4 x 300g steaks)
200ml honey
250g asparagus spears
1 pkt cherry tomatoes (to garnish)
1/2 lime, grilled in pan (to garnish)
Soy butter
80ml kikkoman soy sauce (regular, gluten free or less salt or tamari variants are fine)
200g unsalted butter, softened
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
30g pickled ginger, chopped
1/2 bunch chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
For soy butter, process butter, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and chives in a food processor until combined. Lay a 30cm square piece of plastic wrap on a bench. Spoon butter along 1 side, leaving a 2cm border. Roll into a log, twist ends to seal, then chill for 1-2 hours until firm.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Step 3
Slice potatoes lengthways and cut the desired thickness leave skin on potatoes for a rustic appearance. Place a small pot of water on to boil and when ready place the chips in and boil for one minute. Drain quickly and scatter the chips on a tray and drizzle with some oil and season with some sea salt. Place in the oven and cook chips for 35 mins or until golden crunchy.
Step 4
Meanwhile, combine garlic, rosemary leaves and olive oil, salt and pepper and add steak in a bowl and turn to coat well. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Step 5
Toss asparagus in teriyaki sauce and honey and place on a baking tray. Place in the oven for 5 mins.
Step 6
Heat an oiled chargrill pan on medium-high heat. When hot, cook steaks for 4-5 minutes each side for medium-rare, or until done to your liking. Place on a plate, loosely cover with foil and leave aside to rest in a warm place until needed.
Step 7
Divide steaks across four plates, serve steak with a slice of soy butter on top of the steak to allow to melt and serve chips and sticky asparagus, garnish with cherry tomatoes and grilled lime.
