Ingredients

• Thinly sliced Beef

• 1 Onion

• 1 Carrot

• 2 or 3 Potatoes

• Mirin, as replacement for sake and sugar

• Soy sauce

• Dashi stock

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.
