Steps
^^^^^

.. tip::
    Use the smallest frying pan that fits all the ingredients, and you need a lid.

Cut the potatoes, carrots and onion into pieces, slightly larger than bite-sized.
Rinse then dry the potatoes.

Fry the beef in a bit of vegetable oil, just until all the red color disappears.
Set aside about 80% of the beef.

Add the carrot and potato, then continue stir frying on high heat for a few minutes to give everything some color.
Do the same with the onion for just a couple of minutes.

Add the stock to just cover the bottom, and 2-3 tablespoons of mirin, making it as sweet as you want.
Simmer for 10 minutes with a lid.

Add two tablespoons of soy sauce.
Simmer for 10 more minutes, or until the potatoes are done.
