Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over high heat, add neutral oil, and sear the steak for 3 minutes on each side until browned. Keep the center rare.
  3. Let the steak cool for a few minutes, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together yuzu juice, soy sauce, grated ginger, sugar, and minced onion until combined. Set aside.
  5. Thinly slice the garlic and fry in heated neutral oil until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
  6. After chilling, slice the steak thinly, arrange on a platter, drizzle with ponzu sauce, top with garlic chips, and garnish with chives.
