Method for the steak

  1. Divide the marinade into half, using one half to brush onto the steak and reserving the rest for a dipping sauce to be placed on the table.
  2. Take a heavy based frying pan, or BBQ set for direct grilling and over a high heat sear the steak for 4 to 5 minutes on each side reducing the heat if getting too dark with a core temperature of 50°C before resting, brushing the steak with extra marinade as it cooks, leave to rest for a few minutes whilst you finish the tempura.

Method for the tempura

  1. To start prepare the vegetables and weigh out the tempura ingredients.
  2. Heat a fryer (or a large pan a third full) of peanut or sunflower oil to 180°C.
  3. Once the oil has come up to temperature, using chopsticks quickly beat the egg yolk into the ice-cold water then into the flour with chopsticks, until you have a lumpy batter similar viscosity of double cream.
  4. Check the temperature of the oil by dropping in a little batter into oil - it should sizzle immediately - then fry the ingredients in small batches, dipping them in the batter to coat before carefully placing into the oil and fry 3 to 4 minutes until crisp and lightly coloured.
