Key Ingredients
- Steak - Any tender cut will work well, but ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak provide an ideal balance of flavor and tenderness.
- Eggs - Scrambled to a soft, fluffy consistency, the eggs add a creamy element that balances the steak's richness.
- Miso Paste - Miso brings the rich, savory taste of umami. White or yellow miso works best for a milder flavor that doesn’t overpower the honey.
- Soy Sauce - Adds a salty, umami punch that enhances the miso’s depth.
- Honey - The honey adds a subtle sweetness to balance the salty and savory elements of the miso and soy.
- Garlic and Ginger - These classic aromatics add warmth and complexity to the marinade.
- Toast - Choose your favorite bread; a thick slice like Japanese milk bread or sourdough works wonderfully, as they hold up well to the fillings.
Substitutions
- Miso Paste: If miso paste is hard to find, substitute with a small amount of tahini mixed with soy sauce for a similar taste profile.
- Steak: You can use other protein options like chicken breast, pork, or tofu for a vegetarian option. Adjust the cooking time to suit the protein.
- Honey: Maple syrup or agave can be used instead of honey for a different sweet note.
- Bread: For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread or a lettuce wrap for a low-carb alternative.
Additional Notes
- Baking Soda for Tenderizing: Massaging a small amount of baking soda into the steak helps break down the fibers, creating an incredibly tender texture. Be sure to rinse and pat dry the steak if you prefer a milder flavor, though the marinade will cover most of the baking soda’s taste.
- Cooking the Steak: Avoid overcrowding the pan to get a good sear on the steak strips. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Scrambling Eggs: For extra creamy scrambled eggs, cook them low and slow, using chopsticks or a spatula to create gentle folds for an airy, fluffy texture.
