Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Season both sides of the filet mignon with kosher salt and black pepper. Let it rest at room temperature.
  2. Heat neutral oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes. Sear the steak for 3 minutes on one side and 2 minutes on the other.
  3. Wrap the seared steak in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  4. Combine yuzu juice, soy sauce, ginger, sugar, and minced onion in a bowl to create the ponzu dressing.
  5. Thinly slice garlic and fry in neutral oil over low heat for 5-7 minutes until golden. Drain and season.
  6. Slice the chilled filet mignon thinly against the grain, arrange on a plate, drizzle with ponzu sauce, and top with garlic chips and chives.
