Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Begin by cooking the sushi rice. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or pot and cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes.

In a small saucepan, heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.

While the rice is cooling, prepare the steak. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness). Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

To assemble the nigiri, wet your hands and form bite-sized mounds of sushi rice. Top each mound with a slice of steak, pressing gently to adhere.

Serve the Steak Nigiri with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side for dipping.
This dish combines the rich flavors of perfectly cooked steak with the delicate textures of sushi rice, creating a unique culinary experience.
