Japanese-style pork tomahawk
Dan says: “Asian flavours are some of my favourites and this recipe is great when you make it at home - or you can pick it up ready to grill from Turnbull’s.”

Ingredients
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 2½ tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
- 1 ½ tsp roasted and ground white
- sesame seeds
- ½ tsp whole roasted white sesame seeds
Method
- In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, sesame oil and garlic. Heat over a medium to high heat until the sugar dissolves - approx. 3 mins. Stir constantly to help the sugar dissolve and prevent burning.
- Allow the sauce to cool for 5-10 mins. Pour the sauce through a strainer and into a small bowl to separate and discard the garlic.
- Add the ground and whole sesame seeds to the strained sauce. Mix gently. Leave to cool before using (this can be stored in an airtight container for 5-7 days in the fridge).
- Marinade the pork tomahawks with the sauce for approx. 1 hour, then grill for 3-5mins on both sides before serving with rice and steamed veg.
