Succulent miso grilled beef brochettes with shiso aioli served with lime wedges and green dipping sauce on a black plate.

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp white miso
  • 1 tbsp sake
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
  • 2 cloves garlic (grated)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • lb beef tenderloin
  • ¾ cup shiso leaves (roughly chopped)
  • 1 tbsp white miso
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp water
  • ¾ cup mayonnnaise
  • 2 tsp lime juice

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Combine the first six ingredients together in a small stainless steel bowl and whisk together to blend. Place the pieces of beef tenderloin in a stainless steel bowl and toss with the miso marinade to evenly coat. Thread meat onto bamboo skewers and refrigerate for 4 hours.

  2. Step 2

    To make aioli, blanch the shiso leaves in a pan of boiling water for 5 seconds to wilt. Drain through a strainer and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Squeeze dry and place in a blender with the miso, ginger, oil and water. Puree until smooth. Add the mayonnaise and lime juice and pulse to incorporate.

  3. Step 3

    Remove the beef brochettes from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature. Grill over high heat for approximately 5-7 minutes to lightly char and cook to medium rare or to desired doneness. Serve on a warm plate and drizzle with the shiso aioli.

  4. Step 4

    Enjoy with a glass of Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon.
