Beef sukiyaki
As an incredibly popular meat within the UK, beef recipes are vast and varied. With a range of beef cuts to consider as well as cooking methods and flavour pairings, beef recipes are varied in flavour, texture and preparation time - give this one a try for yourself! Serves 2 (to share)
Ingredients
Method
Leave the beef in the freezer for an hour to ensure it’s cold – this makes it easier to cut. Slice the beef as thinly as possible, around 3mm thickness, and then roll it lengthways. Set aside.
Peel and cut the onion in 2, and then open with your hand into petals. Slice the petals into 1cm strips. Heat the beef fat or vegetable oil in a pan and gently sweat the onion strips with a little salt for around 3-4 minutes, until they have softened. Repeat with the spring onion and leek. In another pan, roast the shitake mushrooms in a little oil with the crushed garlic clove and thyme.
To make the sukiyaki sauce, mix all the ingredients in a pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, and then remove from the heat.
Now you need a large cast iron or non-stick frying pan. Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in the pan and sear the beef rolls, adding a little of the sukiyaki sauce. Once seared, push the beef to the side of the pan and add the onion, leek, spring onion, noodles and tofu, along with the rest of the sukiyaki sauce, put on the lid and bring to a simmer. Cook for around 4-5 minutes until everything is cooked through, and serve in the pan at the table
