Home Yakiniku with a Gas Torch! The World's Fastest, Easiest, and Best Recipe

Weekend Yakiniku Cheat Day

Stopped by the supermarket while out shopping this weekend.

Already exhausted from shopping.
Tonight, I'm making a quick recipe at home.
We're having yakiniku.

Eat in record time! The real thrill of home yakiniku

The rice, miso soup, and lettuce salad are already in the fridge.

All that's left is to prepare the yakiniku meat I bought.

That's it.

It couldn't be simpler.

I grilled picanha this time.

Picanha is meat from the tip of the rump.

It's a greedy cut where you can enjoy both the umami of the lean meat and the sweetness of the fat.

Wasabi soy sauce goes perfectly with it.

And as for the taste?

It's the best!

It feels like a nice restaurant where they sear the food right in front of you with a gas torch.

As a rule, the deliciousness of cooked food starts to decline the moment it is taken off the heat. This is wisdom I learned from a veteran camper I met at a campsite.

Eat it fresh off the grill as fast as possible.

There is nothing more delicious or blissful than this.

It is a luxurious treat you can only enjoy at home.

Expand your culinary horizons with a gas torch

For example, sear store-bought sushi.

It becomes fragrant, the fat sizzles, and it is simply the best.

Especially fatty seared salmon. It is irresistible.

You can also use it to finish hand-kneaded hamburger steaks or grilled fish.

The eel bowl I wrote about before was also amazing.

With just one gas torch, you can bring your home cooking to restaurant-level quality.

It is a great way to save time and leverage flavor.

Please be very careful when handling fire.

Gas torch. There are many manufacturers, so I was confused, but I decided on the reliable Iwatani brand.

Be sure to read the instruction manual and use it safely.

Especially right after searing, the metal part of the burner is piping hot! It is dangerous.

By the way, at the sushi restaurant I went to the other day, they were searing with a SOTO gas torch.

This is also a reliable Japanese manufacturer.

I buy gas canisters in bulk.

I keep buying them at Costco. They are around 2,500 yen for a box.

Buying them by the box is very reassuring in case of power outages or disasters.

When using a gas torch, do it on a tray.

By the way, searing on Teflon-coated items like T-fal is a no-go.

The heat-resistant temperature of Teflon coating is about 260°C.
In contrast, the maximum flame temperature of a gas torch is 1400°C!

I recently realized that when searing, it is very safe to put the ingredients in a tray and sear them inside a camping wind screen.
