This Wagyu Denver steak recipe pairs a richly marbled cut of beef with wedges of miso roasted kohlrabi for a simple yet flavourful main course. White miso brings savoury umami to the roasted vegetable, complementing the richness and beefy flavour of the Wagyu.

Cut from the chuck, Denver steak is known for being particularly tender when cooked correctly. Choosing Wagyu adds generous marbling, making this an excellent cut for quickly searing in a very hot frying pan or on a griddle.

With just five minutes of preparation, this Denver steak recipe lets the quality of the beef remain the focus. The kohlrabi is coated in white miso, white pepper and oil before roasting until tender, while the steak is simply seasoned, seared and rested before slicing.

Ingredients

  • 400g Wagyu chuck Denver steak
  • 1 large kohlrabi, peeled and cut into evenly sized wedges
  • 1 tablespoon white miso
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or groundnut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Directions

    Method

    1. Step 1, Preheat the oven to 180°C.
    2. Step 2, Combine the white miso, white pepper and oil with 1 tablespoon water and mix well until smooth.
    3. Step 3, Toss the kohlrabi pieces in the white miso and oil mixture and place on a non-stick baking tray or a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.
    4. Step 4, Roast for 30 minutes or until tender, turning halfway through.
    5. Step 5, To cook the steak, heat a frying pan or griddle until very hot. Rub the steak lightly with a little vegetable or groundnut oil and season well with salt. If the steak is thick (around 2 inches) then you will need to cook it for around 8 minutes each side for a medium rare steak. Exact cooking times will vary depending on the thickness and shape of the steak. Rest for 10 minutes before serving.
    6. Step 6, Serve the steak sliced with the kohlrabi wedges.
