Beef Shigureni is a quick and extremely flavourful, Japanese stewed dish – perfect for lunch. The beef is gently simmered for just 30 minutes in a potent seasoning liquid of sake, mirin and soy sauce – ecstasy in a bowl!
Lightly marinade the beef with the pepper and half the mirin & sake for 10 minutes
Place all the ingredients apart from the beef, in a saucepan & bring to a boil.
Add the beef, bring back to boil then simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
Take the lid off & simmer for another 10 minutes until most of the sauce has reduced. You'll be left with a small amount of delicious, to die for sauce.
