You'll Need:

1 1/2 lb filet mignon
2 tb soy sauce
1 tb mirin
1 tb lemon juice
2 ts ginger grated
1 clove garlic minced
1 green onion thinly sliced
1 fresh cracked black pepper
1 lettuce leaves for garnish
1 6 inch daikon grated

Procedure:

Sear meat in a heavy skillet. Plunge into very cold water until chilled. Pat dry and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, onion (reserve a few pieces for later), and pepper. Marinate meat in mixture for several hours (up to overnight), turning frequently. Cut meat into very thin slices, arrange on a chilled, lettuce-garnished serving plate, and drizzle with marinade. Peel daikon and grate to a fine pulp. Put daikon in a separate serving bowl near the beef, and add reserved onion pieces to garnish. Serve beef chilled, with daikon as a topping.

Please take responsibility to keep the dish cold, use the finest quality beef possible, and notify your guests of any potential health hazards.
