Steps:
- Slice Steak into 2-3 inch strips as thin as you can do safely. Clean all Vegetables and slice into strips Julienne style. Now is a good time to premix your sauce since you will be very busy with stir frying later when you need to add it inches Mix Soy Sauce, Sugar, Ginger, Garlic, Pepper, Red Pepper, and 1/2 Cup of Water. Stir Well to mix and set aside.
- Heat 1 Tbsp of Olive oil in a Wok (or a large Sauce Pan) on high heat. Stir fry Steak strips until browned ( i usually let them boil in their own juices for a few extra minutes to ensure maximum tenderness). Drain fat from steak strips, add the remainder of your Olive oil and all your Vegetables except Broccoli and Bean Sprouts. Stir fry on High until vegetable are Tender Crisp (about 3-4 minutes) now add your Broccoli and Bean Sprouts ( if you add them to early they will wither and become mushy) stir fry an additional 2 Minutes. Now give your sauce a quick stir and add it into the Wok. Stir fry the mixture about 30 seconds. Now mix the remaining 1/2 cup of water with your cornstarch to make a slurry. Add the slurry slowly into your wok stirring as you go. Once the color of the juice in the wok starts to lighten stop adding the slurry. Reduce heat to medium and stir constantly for about 30 seconds as the sauce turns to a glaze. Serve immediately, best over Fried Rice.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use USDA-graded choice or higher beef to ensure tenderness and flavor. Opt for fresh vegetables and use a good quality soy sauce, mirin, and sake.
- Slice the meat thinly: This will help it cook quickly and evenly. Aim for slices that are about 1/8-inch thick.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, and sake will help tenderize it and add flavor.
- Use a hot skillet: This will help sear the beef and create a nice crust.
- Cook the beef in batches: Don't overcrowd the skillet, or the beef will steam instead of sear.
- Add the vegetables: Once the beef is cooked, add the vegetables and cook until they are tender-crisp.
- Simmer the sukiyaki: Bring the sukiyaki to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the flavors have melded.
- Serve with rice: Sukiyaki is traditionally served with rice. You can also serve it with noodles or tofu.
Conclusion:
Sukiyaki is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover beef and vegetables, and it is also a fun and interactive dish to share with friends and family.
