Preparation

Step 1

Whisk together all ingredients except steaks.

With kitchen shears in middle of steaks, snip once through center gristle to prevent curling.

Pat steaks dry and coat with miso mixture. Let stand 10 to 20 minutes.

Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas)

Oil grill rack, then grill steaks, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, 4 to 6 minutes total for medium-rare.

COOKS NOTE:

Steaks can be cooked in a hot oiled large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over medium heat.
