Kunigami's Steak: Inspired by Blue Lock (gluten free)
Inspired by Blue Lock, I’m making Kunigami’s Steak Prize. A well deserved prize for scoring the most goals, Kunigami shares his delicious steak with Isagi. It’s a simple recipe/dish but the boys just absolutely love it! A juice steak slathered in an umami rich sauce, yum! Oh yeah, don’t forget the perfectly cooked veggies. I really enjoyed this anime and am definitely looking forward to season 2!
Ingredients
For the Steaks:
- 4 boneless rib steaks
- neutral flavoured oil for cooking I use canola
- salt
- ground black pepper
For the Sauce:
- Pan drippings
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 3 tsp worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp oyster sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp water
- Splash of red wine optional but really delicious!
To Serve:
- Roasted or more anime accurate steamed veggies: A mix of potatoes, carrots, and asparagus. Chop the veggies into even chunks, spread on a baking tray, season with olive oil, salt and pepper, and roast until tender and the edges are brown and crisp. Easy as that!
Instructions
- Pat steaks dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper
- On medium-high heat, add a Tbsp of oil (per steak, so if you're cooking 2 at a time, use 2 Tbsp oil) to the cast-iron pan and let heat until near smoking. Carefully lower the steak (away from you) into the pan.
- Let cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until the bottom is browned. Flip and repeat for about 2-4 minutes depending on the thickness of the steaks. Remove from heat a bit before you reach the desired doneness as the steaks will continue to cook slightly from the heat while resting.
- Remove the steak from the pan but keep all the drippings (bits of goodness) stuck to the pan.
- Add the sauce to the pan and simmer while mixing.
- Once thickened, remove from heat to dress the steaks.
- Plate up a steak, veggies, pour a generous portion of your sauce over the steaks. Enjoy!
