In Japan, the word tataki has two definitions when talking about food. The first definition comes from the verb “tataku”, which literally means “to pound or hammer”. The second definition is used to describe fish or another meat that has been seared on the outside and left untouched/rare in the middle.
Japanese Beef Tataki is a dish where the meat is seasoned, seared in a rapid blazing hot flame or temperature. But, it should be cooled right away, to leave the center rare or barely cooked (possibly untouched). So make sure to use fresh and premium beef to make this dish very palatable.
