My better
half is being very patient with my current enthusiasm for experimenting with
Japanese flavours. I hope you'll put up
with it as well.
Ingredients:
Blade steak
cut into chunks
Vegetable
oil
1 cup of
dashi (made with dashi powder and hot water)
½ cup of
sake or mirin
1 slice of
red onion
1 lump of
rock sugar
Potatoes
Carrots
3 tblsp soy
sauce (preferably Japanese)
Herbs for
garnish
Method:
Brown the
beef in batches
Add the
onion
After a
couple of minutes add the dashi, mirin and rock sugar.
Simmer the
beef for one hour.
Steam the
potatoes and carrots – I used a microwave steamer – the potatoes and carrots
were sliced.
When they
are done and after the hour, add the potatoes and carrots to the beef. Then add the soy sauce. Simmer for 3 minutes
and finish with a garnish of herbs just before serving.
There's a beef stew recipe for every culture! I will have to try this one for my step son! He loves Japanese food and he is a real true FOODIE! You are always cooking up something interesting in Carole's Corner! By the way, I am missing your Sunshine Bay Sav Blanc down here in Texas! I used to get it all the time at Aldi's but now I can't find it anywhere. Perhaps the vineyards for it didn't do well this past year. I'll keep looking!
ReplyDeleteWe get a lot of the Japanese food flavors out this way. Hope he liked your stew.
ReplyDeleteNow that's the benefit of being with someone who likes to cook, you always get to try new foods and flavors. Great recipe!
