Difficulty and servings
Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 50 minutes
- Lightly brown the meat with 2 tsp oil in a heavy saucepan. Add the vegetables, cook a few minutes more, then add the water or dashi. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, skimming off any scum or fat that rises to the surface.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, and simmer for 30 minutes, uncovered, until the potatoes and carrots are soft and the meat tender. Serve in bowls, with a little cooking juice (it shouldn't be swimming).
Freeze your beef
It's much easier to slice beef that's partially frozen, so freeze for 20 minutes.
Chaos-cut carrots
To cut carrots in Japanese 'chaos-cut' style, hold them as if you're sharpening a pencil and cut off chunks at an angle, turning as you go.
