3/4 lb. beef, tenderloin
1 lemon
2 tsp. grated garlic
2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
7 oz. daikon (Japanese radish)
1 Japanese cucumber
Shiso leaves
Soy sauce
Heat grid well. Place beef on grid and grill on all sides. When the surface turns light brown, dip in ice water for a few seconds. Dry with a cloth, wrap in Saran Wrap and place in the refrigerator.
Prepare condiments. Cut lemon into 8 wedges. Pare daikon in paper thin sheets, cutting with bottom part of knife while rotating the daikon. Roll daikon sheet and slice thinly crosswise, thus making very thin and long strips. Do the same with cucumber.
Cut beef into thin slices. Place daikon strip, cucumber and beef slices in a serving dish. Put other condiments on the side. Place scallions on beef. Pour soy sauce into small individual serving dishes and add condiments to taste. The beef is dipped lightly in the soy sauce.
