Method

  1. Cut potatoes and carrot into bite-size pieces and onion into wedges. Trim the beans and slice beef thinly across the grain.
  2. Heat oil in a saucepan. Briefly brown the beef, then add onion, potatoes and carrot and stir for 2 minutes.
  3. Add dashi, soy sauce, mirin and sugar. Bring to a simmer, cover loosely and cook for 20 minutes until the potatoes are almost tender.
  4. Add green beans and simmer for 8–10 minutes until cooked. Rest off the heat for 5 minutes so the vegetables absorb the broth.
