Miso Butter Daikon Steak

April 13, 2021 By Lisa Kitahara 95 Comments

Jump to Recipe

What Does Daikon Taste Like?

In comparison to other varieties of radishes, Japanese daikon is mild in flavour and does not have that spicy element. When eaten raw, it's slightly sweet yet peppery with a crisp and watery texture. When cooked, the flavour mellows down, becomes sweeter and becomes quite similar to cooked turnips. Because of it's mild flavour and itsability to soak up lots of flavour, it's the perfect canvas for dishes with a sauce rich in flavour.

Health Benefits of Daikon Radish

In Japan, daikon is often served as a side dish alongside heavier meals like deep fried food as a way to 'relive the oily-ness' and as a palate cleanser. Since it is low in calories, high in water content and fiber– it makes for a healthy addition to everyday meals!

How to Make Daikon Steak

  1. Prep daikon radish: Peel and slice daikon into rounds, about 4-5 cm in thickness. Score both sides with a sharp knife about ¾ cm deep. Rub sake and kombu dashi on both sides. Place in a microwave safe dish, cover and microwave for 2 minutes on each side at 600 W (or until 80% cooked through). It will look more translucent.
  2. Make the sauce: Mix sauce ingredients in a bowl and combine.
  3. Cook the radish steaks: Heat vegan butter over high heat and then season both sides with salt and pepper. Pan fry both sides until charred to your liking (about 1 minute per side). Reduce heat to medium low, add sauce mixture and simmer one side for about 30 seconds (or until sauce begins to thicken). Flip and let other side simmer in the sauce. Turn off the heat, remove from burner and serve on a plate. Drizzle with remaining sauce and then garnish with scallions to complete.

Serve these fancy daikon steaks with anything you like! I like to pair it with a fresh bowl of rice, a simple cold tofu side dish and another vegetable based side dish like spinach gomaae.

Daikon Steak Variations

Here are some more flavour suggestions you can make daikon steak with:

  • teriyaki
  • soy butter
  • soy garlic sauce
  • ginger soy sauce
  • ponzu
  • sukiyaki sauce
  • yakiniku sauce (Japanese grill sauce)
  • yuzu soy sauce
  • balsamic sauce
  • top with cheese

Recipe Notes

  • Score or slice both sides of the daikon radish about ¾ cm so that it is easier for the sauce to be absorbed.
  • Microwaving is a quick and easy way to cook the radish through evenly since the slices are thick.
  • The sake is optional but recommended if you find your daikon to be on the bitter side.

More daikon recipes to try:

  • Daikon Miso Soup
  • Vegan Kimchi
  • Ozoni Mochi Soup
  • Vietnamese Pickled Daikon and Carrots for Bun Chay
  • Spicy Pickled Daikon (in Bibimbap, coming soon!)

Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅓ daikon radish, peeled (225-275g net weight)
  • 1 tsp kombu dashi powder (5g // can substitute for mushroom stock powder)
  • 1 tbsp sake, optional (15ml)
  • 1 tbsp vegan butter (15g)
  • 1 ½ tsp soy sauce (7ml // tamari for guten free)
  • 1 tbsp mirin (15ml)
  • 1 tsp cane sugar (4g)
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste (20g // gluten free miso paste as needed)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (4g)
  • scallions for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Peel and then slice daikon into 4 cm thick rounds. Score the daikon steaks on both sides. Place the daikon into a microwave safe dish and then drizzle sake on top. Rub kombu dashi powder on both sides and then cover with a lid. Microwave both sides for 2 minutes each at 600W or until daikon is mostly cooked (it will look more translucent). Be sure not to overcook. 
  2. In the meantime, add the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, miso and garlic in a bowl and mix to combine. 
  3. Over high heat, add the vegan butter. Once melted, add the daikon to the pan and lightly season both sides with salt and pepper. Pan fry the daikon until you get some charring on both sides (about 1 minute on each side). Reduce heat to medium to medium low. Add the sauce mixture and let the daikon simmer in the sauce for about 30 seconds. Flip the daikon and let the other side cook in the sauce until the sauce has reduced significantly. 
  4. Remove from heat, serve on a plate and drizzle with remaining sauce. Garnish with scallions and enjoy!

    This was so good! I slightly undercooked the daikon (in the microwave step) but it was still amazing. I'd call it more of a vegan scallop than a steak just based on color and texture but 10000% making these again. Delish.

      Hi Alicia! I think you can steam it or boil it in the kombu dashi stock 🙂 You could also make them thinner and just pan fry on low heat for longer!

      I don’t have a microwave either but popped my daikon steaks into my instant pot to steam them! It worked really well, just was afraid to overcook them so i had to steam it a few rounds lol. If you have an instant pot I’d do pressure cook - high - for 5 minutes! Hope this helps,

    One word... AMAZING! The sauce got all caramelized and added so much flavour to the daikon! 😍🤩 Followed the recipe exactly except I microwaved the daikon in 30 second intervals to get to the whole 2 minutes. The daikon was making scary popping sounds at 45 seconds so had to pause it briefly to stop the intense sizzling sounds. 😱 Was not sure if that was suppose to happen since the recipe did not say anything about that? Overall, the recipe is super easy to follow along! Will definitely make this again! ❤️

    Even considering the fact that I neither had a microwave nor the correct radish, it came out really good 😍 I’ve basically added it as a side dish to my fried rice and I’ve eaten half a radish for lunch now😂
    My favorite Asian supermarket didn’t have daikon at the moment but they had a greener radish, which like daikon is also milder compared to the radishes here in Germany 🙂

    What did I do wrong? Mine look beautiful, but I wouldn’t say they’re amazing like all the other comments 😔. I used two full daikon and tripled the recipe. Could that be it? I found them extremely salty even though I used low sodium soy sauce. Was I supposed to make a broth with the dashi powder or just rub (I just rubbed)? I also didn’t have sake so threw in some white wine. What’s the texture supposed to be like? Mine are quite firm, borderline crunchy. I will buy sake and try again because I love the concept!

As a Japanese, it reminds me of hoba-miso which is a traditional food in some prefecture in Japan. I’m so happy that I can eat similar food in here Canada!

    I think my favorite thing about this one is how beautifully aesthetic the radish comes out with its perfectly round shape, scored surface, and slight caramelization. I was really excited for this sauce and can’t wait to incorporate miso & butter into more dishes. I will say however, I kept anticipating the radish to transform into something incredibly tender and melt-in-your-mouth — as such, I doubled both the microwave time AND the pan cooking time, yet my radishes retained that plump juicy “crunch” even when well-cooked. This was no mistake in Lisa’s recipe whatsoever; just an oversight on my behalf and it tasted absolutely delicious nonetheless! Really, I loved it. I realize now the high water content of the radish does not lend itself to the knife-through-butter texture I envisioned in my mind, and it seems other reviewers yielded the same result!
    Another ingenious Okonomi Kitchen creation >^_^<

    I have never been more excited to review a recipe that uses radishes of ALL foods. Growing up, we are radishes from the garden but I had never eaten a daikon radish until college, and this recipe did NOT disappoint my love of them! The first time I made it I forgot Miso and- although it was great- felt something was missing. The second time I remembered everything and tried a teriyaki flavor and it was to DIE FOR 🥰 I honestly couldn’t believe a radish could be so delicious, filling, and yet not overwhelming like a traditional steak. I saw someone else say it seems like a scallop and I totally agree, but nonetheless it’s amazing!

    Perhaps the best part is just how much you can get from a single daikon radish 😊I’m looking forward to trying other sauce flavors!

    We are flexitarian and still incorporate animal products, so we did the recipe with grass-fed butter and traditional dashi, so I imagine our flavor profile was a little different from the original. A tasty recipe, especially when paired with a variety of sides. Love the umami and filling flavors for a fairly light dish calorie wise c:

    I made this for dinner and it was SOOO delicious!! I can't recommend it more. I thought it was a perfect flavor combination and I ate it with rice. Even my meat-loving friend loved it!

    Oh my gosh!! This recipe is so good and quick to make! I love how this tastes very umami and there isn't any aftertaste from the radish. My whole family loved it 🙂

    So easy, so delicious! What an umami bomb. If you don't have a microwave, you can just simmer the daikon in some dashi on the stovetop like I did. I was afraid I would overcook it but actually the texture was perfect. Next time I think I will make some extra sauce to pour over the rice hehe. 100% making this over and over again.

    I couldn't believe that Daikon would be this tasty!! Juicy, yummy and the sauce was by far one of the best things I have ever made. My new favourite recipe.

    One of the first dishes I made when I first saw it on my Tik Tok. I was hesitant at first but was the sauce was so tasty and super addicting. Never thought of microwaving radish. So glad I tried this recipe.

    Delicious! Such an easy “fancy” recipe to impress with! I really let the sauce thicken and it made the dish so luxurious. Served it with wild rice and a wilted sesame spinach salad. Yum! 😋

    I just made this after seeing it in IG, wow, it was so good!!! The flavors were amazing! I’ve never used miso before but now I’m hooked. Can’t wait to try your other recipes that call for miso like those cookies! I’ve also never had a daikon radish before, and I love it. Thank you for introducing me to so many new and delicious flavors!!

    Absolutely love this recipe! I don't have a microwave, so I ended up parboiling my daikon for about 35 minutes or so in some rice water. I should've also thrown in the dashi powder in there as well to allow it to absorb more of the flavour. Otherwise, great recipe -- would definitely make this again!

    This recipe has become one of our fast favorites. So easy and absolutely delicious. The sauce is to die for and paired with the radish it’s amazing. We make this for our friends and fam when they come over for dinner. If you’re trying to eat more plant based (or get other people to) this is a great recipe to start with!

    Omg this was AMAZING. Like others say it’s more of a scallop substitute but to me that’s an upgrade! SO delicious and so easy. So buttery. Even as a non-vegan I love this as a sub for scallop prices!

    12/10 - this recipe was incredible! The recipe was so easy to follow and the outcome was just so delicious! I have been challenging myself to make more vegan foods and I’m so glad I came across Okonomi Kitchen 🤍

    I have now decided to have a dinner party with this as the main, I was so so impressed! With the butter/sauce left in the pan, I added some hot water and made a slurry and added that to make a jus of sorts!

    Cannot wait to show others this wonderful food!

    I saw this on Instagram and I knew I had to try it. So when I had leftover daikon from pickling, I just had to give it a go. So glad I did. This recipe is great - awesome flavours for little effort. 10/10 will do it again.

    Made these with a side of mushrooms and they were pretty good! I had never used daikon before so I'm curious what else I'll try with it. I would pair it with a thicker sauce next time, overall was pretty filling!
