                        -Joe Comiskey JPMD44A
   1 1/2   lb           Beef rib eye roast
                        -thinly sliced
   3 1/4   tb           Sesame seeds
     1/2   c            Light Miso -- **1
     1/3   c            Sake -- **2
     3/4   ts           MSG (opt)
   1 1/2   tb           Sugar
   1 1/2   tb           Soy sauce
   1 1/2   tb           Peanut oil

  **1 Fermented soybean paste; available in Japanese and
  Oriental markets. **2 Japanese wine; widely available.
  
  Toast the sesame seeds in a frying pan.  Cook only
  until a few pop and the rest turn golden brown. Grind
  seeds with a mortar and pestle or run through a food
  blender. Do not grind too fine. Add the miso to the
  sesame seeds and mix well.  Add the soy sauce, sugar,
  optional MSG and sake. Spread one-half of the mixture
  on a platter and place the beef slices in the
  marinade. Brush the remaining marinade on top. Let
  stand for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the beef from
  the marinade, scrape off the excess marinade and
  reserve. Broil or pan fry with a little oil until just
  cooked, about 5 minutes.  Heat the leftover marinade
  and serve with the beef. Generally this dish is eaten
  with boiled rice.
  
  Miso, fermented soybean paste, is used in this dish to
  provide a beef and soy flavor that is terribly rich.
  Obviously, it will stretch out the meat, but that does
  not seem to be the concern here. The Japanese have
  loved beef for the past 100 years or so and they eat a
  great deal of it. Still, you will be surprised at how
  far this dish will go, at a meal.
