Beef tataki (or “gyuniku no tataki” 牛肉のたたき in Japanese) is a Japanese dish made with fillet of beef that has been seasoned, seared over a high heat, cooled and cut into thin slices. It is most commonly served either soaked in a marinade or with a soy based dipping sauce and sprinkled with green onions.
But at IKKA Wagyu Yakiniku, this September, diners will have the opportunity to enjoy the special edition Gold sprinkled Wagyu Tataki.
What is Takati?
Tataki (たたき) is a term linked with the distinct culinary practices of Japan. In its earliest use, “tataki”, which means beating or bashing in Japanese, denoted a specific preparation technique in which ingredients were physically crushed or mashed, either by hand or using a knife. This procedure was implemented to thoroughly infuse the ingredients with an array of seasonings, thereby enhancing their natural flavors.
Distinguish roast beef and beef tataki
Roast beef is a dish originating from England, prepared by roasting beef in the oven to create a delicious taste and just enough tenderness.
On the other hand, beef tataki follows a contrasting culinary philosophy. It involves searing the surface of the beef in a frying pan or pot while keeping the inside essentially raw. This technique results in a completely different texture and flavor profile compared to roast beef.
In addition, these two dishes are also significantly different in seasoning. While roast beef often incorporates herbs, salt and pepper during the cooking process and is often served with a gravy made from gravy. Beef tataki again chooses a typical Japanese flavor palette. It is often served with soy sauce, akin to sashimi, further emphasizing its Japanese culinary roots.
