Egg yolk and steak

Here’s a delicious and simple Egg Yolk & Steak recipe that highlights rich, savory flavors — perfect for a restaurant-quality dish at home. It’s inspired by Japanese and Korean-style steak dishes where raw or cured egg yolk is used as a luxurious sauce.

🥩 Seared Steak with Cured Egg Yolk or Raw Yolk Dip

🔪 Ingredients:

• 1 steak (ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin — about 1″ thick)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 2 egg yolks

• 2 tsp soy sauce (optional, for egg yolk seasoning)

• 1 tsp mirin or rice vinegar (optional)

• Oil or butter for searing

• Optional garnish: chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or crispy garlic

🍳 Option A: Simple Raw Egg Yolk Dip

1. Separate egg yolks and place each in a small ramekin.

2. Serve raw yolk next to the steak for dipping. (Use only pasteurized eggs or eggs from a trusted source.)

🍳 Option B: Soy-Marinaded Egg Yolk (1 hour cure)

1. In a bowl, mix 2 tsp soy sauce and 1 tsp mirin.

2. Place yolks in the mixture and marinate for 45–60 minutes. They’ll firm up slightly and get a rich umami flavor.

🥩 Cook the Steak:

1. Take the steak out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.

2. Season with salt and pepper generously.

3. Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron preferred) over high heat. Add a bit of oil or butter.

4. Sear steak for 2–3 minutes per side (for medium-rare), adjusting based on thickness.

5. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.

🥢 To Serve:

• Place sliced steak on a plate.

• Gently place the raw or cured egg yolk on top or beside the steak.

• Garnish with green onions, sesame, or garlic chips.

• Dip steak pieces into the yolk — it creates a rich, silky sauce as it coats the meat.

🧠 Pro Tips:

• Use wagyu or high-quality beef for best results with raw yolk.

• Add a side of steamed rice or grilled vegetables for a full meal.

• For more boldness, add a bit of wasabi, kimchi, or gochujang on the side.
