This helps to give it flavor as well as tenderize it. Heat up some oil in a pan, and add just a little bit of ginger to it, just enough to flavor the oil. Simmer for 5 minutes and add your beef. Sear each side so that the outside is cooked and the inside is rare - about 2 to 3 minutes for each side.

Immediately place the beef in some ice water to stop the cooking. Let it sit for a few minute to fully cool down.

Mix the soy sauce and sake together. Dry off the beef and let it marinate in the soy sauce and sake mixture for at least 20 minutes. Cut the beef into thin strips.
