Method
1. Tip the miso paste, Sherry or sake, sugar and garlic into a seal-able food bag. Season with a generous grinding of black pepper, then squash it all together until completely mixed.
2. Add the steak, gently massage the marinade into the steak until completely coated, then seal the bag. Pop the bag into the fridge and leave for at least 1 hour, but up to 2 days is fine.
3. To cook, heat a heavy-based frying pan, griddle pan or barbecue until very hot. Wipe the excess marinade off the steak, then sear for 3 mins on each side for medium-rare or a few mins longer if you prefer the meat more cooked. Set aside for 1 minute to rest.

Miso paste is a thick paste used in Japanese sauces and for marinading vegetables or meats. It is made from soybeans which have been fermented with salt and a fungus called kōjikin, a mould which is used to make the Japanese drink Sake. If you can't get your hands on miso, you can make a rough substitute by mixing some soy sauce with tomato puree and tomato ketchup.
