"From Bon Appétit, April 2000. We prefer this rare rather than medium rare, so we cook it much less than 35 minutes in the oven. Check often with the thermometer for the right level for you. Serve with Lemon-Soy Dipping Sauce #229523."

This was a very nice dinner. DH accidentally bought a pork tenderloin, instead of beef, thus I felt I would review it to say we enjoyed it, but hold off on the star ratings as I subsituted a major ingredient before realizing my mistake. We marinated for 24 hours and the pork was very moist and flavorful. This was easy to make and fast to put together. Thank you for a nice meal.

This is an excellent recipe full of taste. I used 1/2 pound filet mignon to make this but used 1/2 of the recipe ingredients except the beef and it worked out great for two people as a light dinner along with toasted baguette, salad and wine. Usually tataki is not roasted. It is normally seared quickly and marinated. Because I did not want overly cooked beef, I reduced the baking time to 12 minutes and that worked out perfectly for our taste. The taste of this marinade is excellent and should work equally well with fish. The meat was so well flavored that it did not need any dipping sauce and used the ponzu sauce only for the salad lettuce. Thank you Amanda for posting this excellent recipe.

what a wonderful dish. I had it as an appetizer but next time it will be my main meal. Used venison. Wonderful to be able to make it in advance as well.
