Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 lb thinly sliced raw beef, cut into 1 1/2 inch squares
4 medium white potatoes, peeled, in large cubes
2 medium onions, peeled, and cut into this semicircles
4 tsp canola oil
2/3 c water
1/4 c sake or dry white wine
2 Tbsp sugar
3 Tbsp soy sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Saute` beef in 2 teaspoons oil for 2 minutes or until browned, then remove from pan along with any meat juices.
  • 2. Add 2 teaspoons more oil to pan along with the potatoes and onions; saute` 2 minutes until onions get separated.
  • 3. Add water, sake, and sugar. Bring to a boil and cook loosely covered until potatoes re half done. Add soy sauce and the beef along with any juices; bring to a boil again and cook loosely covered until potatoes are quite tender (15 minutes). Serve hot.
  • 4. I suggest if you do not use Sake you add 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger along with the soy sauce to give it extra flavor.
