Beef Tataki Tostada

4 round tostada with beef on a round wooden board and a small grass pot and a spoon in middle

You’ll be obsessed with this beef tataki tostada. Beef tataki is a Japanese cooking method of searing then marinating beef, then slicing it thinly like sashimi. We seriously love ours on crispy corn tostadas with Japanese mayo and fresh micro radish. Mirin and Cooking Sake can easily be found in an Asian supermarket and are great ingredients to have in the pantry.
