The soy-based, garlic flavoured sweet sauce gives a japanese touch to the western-style steak dish. Thinly sliced steak is so fast to cook, and with the rice and fresh green salad, steak with japanese garlic steak sauce is a meal in itself. My version is a copycat of the steak lunch from yamabiko rest house in nozawa onsen ski resort in japan. Prep time does not include the time required to cook rice. Don't forget to see the section 'meal ideas' below the recipe card It gives you a list of dishes that i have already posted and this recipe that can make up a complete meal. I hope it is of help to you.
