Method

  1. Put the meat in the freezer while you prepare the other ingredients (this will help when slicing). Combine the stock, soy, mirin and sugar in a pan, bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, slice the meat as thinly as you can. add the beef to the pan and cook for a few more minutes, stirring, until opaque. Sprinkle with pickled ginger, spring onions and chilli, and serve with steamed rice and some of the cooking liquid spooned over.

    Very easy and tasty dish, literally took me 20mins from walking into the kitchen to serving up! I added peppers and mange tout to the poaching liquid to bulk it up and bit and served it on rice, will definitely be a regular on nights when I don't have much time to cook.

    I made this with turkey breast. Personally, I enjoyed it but thought it was slightly bland, but my family thought it was delicious and want it again.

    So suprised that a recipe with so few ingredients could be soooo tasty. Like some of the comments before me the pickled ginger is a must in this recipe, I found it in Waitrose as sushi ginger, and added quite a lot more of it at the table as it was so yummy and really complimented the other flavours in the dish. I served this with some Chinese Stir Fry veg which I braised in some Miso Soup. For some reason I can't rate this recipe but if I could it would be a definate 5 stars : )

    Forgot to say that I thickened the cooking liquid with a little cornflower and didn't serve all of it over the dish as it would have been too soggy. Just noticed that it added my 5 star rating!
