      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      3    New York strip steaks
    3/4 c  Soy sauce
    3/4 c  Sake
    1/2 c  Mirin
      2 c  Dashi
 
  Mix  together  soy sauce, sake, mirin and dashi. (Sake and Mirin
  wines can be bought in most liquor stores. Dashi, a base for Japanese
  soup stock,is available in most Oriental stores.) Bring to boil.Add
  steak and return to boil.Cook 3 to 5 minutes.Be careful not to
  overcook the meat;it should be rare on the inside. Remove steak,wrap
  in foil and refrigerate overnight. Continue boiling,cooking until
  liquid has reduced to a thick sauce. You can tell when it is
  done,because the sauce makes large, slow bubbles when it is ready.Be
  careful; otherwise the sauce will burn. Refrigerate overnight. To
  serve: Cut all fat from steaks. Slice in very thin slices. Arrange on
  a plate. Just before serving; pour 1 tsp. of reduced cooking sauce
  over meat. You can also garnish with a little chopped green onion.
  For an appetizer serving, allow 5 to 7 slices per person. Serves 6.
