Seared Steak Sushi with Horseradish

Seared Steak Sushi with Horseradish

As usual, the ChillaxBBQ crew push the boundaries of BBQ food. We like to shock and surprise with our dishes that are non-conformist to the traditional sausages and burgers. We go hard on the original and unique. This is a great example, but an example that is pretty damned easy to do, and fantastic at a BBQ as it is single-serve finger food. No plastics plates or cutlery needed folks. Just a serving plank and one grazing hand. This is why we created Seared Steak Sushi with Horseradish. This is now featured in our new cookbook – BBQ Recipes In Spoons & On Planks.

This is enough to serve a single platter for 10-15 people easily.

Here we go; Seared Steak Sushi with Horseradish

• 3 cups of Japanese sushi rice
• 3 Tbsp sushi vinegar
• 1 jar of creamed Horseradish
• 1 Kg Sirloin steak
• Olive oil
• Sea salt & cracked black pepper

Like Hansel & Gretel – follow the simple steps;

1. Cook the rice in a rice cooker, put in a bowl and whilst still hot add the vinegar and mix is thoroughly
2. Lay down some cling film and make rice sausages rolling it tightly in the cling film to keep the shape – set aside to cool and repeat until all the rice is used up
3. Slice the steak into very thin slices (all the same size) and pop in a zip-lock bag. Drizzle in some Olive oil and give a good pinch of sea salt & cracked black pepper
4. Zip it up and mix it all together so the steak pieces get a good coating of oil and seasoning
5. Flash chargrill the steak slices on both sides – literally something like 20 seconds per side to char but not over-cook – you want this medium-rare, then off the coals and set aside
6. Unwrap your rice sausages and cut into bite-sized sushi shapes, as in the picture
7. Smear some of the Horseradish cream on to the rice, and then lay a slice of the chargrilled steak on top
8. Place these neatly on a platter and give a good sprinkle of sea salt and cracked black pepper
9. Serve away – some of the best finger food ever is this

Seared Steak Sushi with Horseradish is seriously a cracker. Watch the surprised faces when you serve this up. So different for your next BBQ experience, and come on it is pretty simple right? Beautifully tender steak with a wee kick of Horseradish and then the slightly tangy rice. It is a beauty. Give it a go guys – ENJOY!!!

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
