GROUND BEEF SUKIYAKI

Ground Beef Sukiyaki image

This is one of DH's faves. I have cooked this many times for company and get raves. It looks like a lot of work, reading the recipe, but it is easy easy. We don't like water chestnuts or bamboo shoots, so I omit them. I have had this recipe forever, but it looks like I must have found it on an A.1. bottle or ad. I tried it with other steak sauces, but we didn't like it. The recipe says 8 servings, but the 2 of us finish it off with no trouble.

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 lbs lean ground beef
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup A.1. Original Sauce
1 teaspoon salt (I never add this)
1 (6 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 green pepper, sliced in thin strips
6 scallions, cut in 1 inch pieces
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, thinly sliced and drained
1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots, drained
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 cups rice, cooked

Steps:

In large skillet, brown beef until crumbly.
In small bowl, mix sugar, soy sauce, A-1, and salt.
Set aside.
Drain mushrooms, reserving liquid.
When meat is cooked, mix in vegetables.
Add sauce.
Simmer 3 minutes, or until vegetables are just tender crisp.
Combine cornstarch and reserved mushroom liquid.
Stir into sukiyaki.
Cook just until thickened.
Serve over rice.

Tips:

Choose high-quality ingredients: Use high-quality thinly sliced beef (such as ribeye or sirloin), fresh vegetables, and a good quality sukiyaki sauce.
Slice the beef thinly: The beef should be sliced very thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. This will help it cook quickly and evenly.
Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, sake, and mirin will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
Cook the sukiyaki in a hot pan: Heat the pan over medium-high heat before adding the beef and vegetables. This will help to sear the beef and prevent it from sticking.
Add the vegetables in stages: Add the vegetables in stages, starting with those that take longer to cook, such as onions and carrots. Then add the leafy greens and mushrooms.
Simmer the sukiyaki for a few minutes: Once all of the vegetables have been added, simmer the sukiyaki for a few minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Serve the sukiyaki 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 can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and it is also a perfect meal for a cold winter day.
