Step-by-step
- To make the teriyaki sauce, combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Stir the mixture well. Put it on medium heat and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for a couple minutes. Stop the heat and cool the mixture. It's now ready to use but if you have any left you can store the sauce in a clean bottle in the fridge.
- When the flames have died down and your coals are white, lightly oil the steaks, then grill them over direct heat for around two minutes a side for medium-rare. Leave the steaks to rest while you grill the asparagus, again over direct heat, until lightly charred.
- While the beef is resting, rub the British asparagus with a little oil then lay on the griddle and grill for 2-3 minutes, turning every now and then until they start to soften but still have `bite' and have little chars on them.
- Split the asparagus between two plates. Carve the steaks into thin strips and lay on top of the asparagus, pouring over the meat juices left from resting. Cover each steak with a few tablespoons of teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with the togarashi if using and sesame seeds.
