Mock Sukiyaki

Mock Sukiyaki

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1 Lb. or 500 gm top sirloin (cut into very thin strips)
  • 1 large onion (large dice or thinly sliced)
  • 1 1/2 Cups (375 ml) unsalted beef broth
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp low sodium soya sauce
  • 1/2 Tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 cup sliced celery
  • 1 red or green or yellow sweet pepper
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (I prefer cremini for the flavour, but white mushrooms will do)
  • 1 cup broccoli flowerets or zucchini sliced on the diagonal
  • 1 Tbsp corn starch (dissolved in 3 tbsp water)
  • good grinding of pepper

Directions

In skillet brown steak in 1 tbsp olive oil over a high heat, turning the meat so that it sears all sides; do it a little bit at a time so that the steak does not steam. Remove the meat as it cooks and place it in the lid of the frying pan(Why dirty another dish, when you will be using the lid eventually?). When all the meat has been cooked, add the onion and cook for 2 - 3 minutes, scraping up the brown bits. Then, add the meat back into the pan and add the broth, salt and soya sauce. Cover and simmer this for 10 - 12 minutes.
Then add the vegetables (it doesn't matter if you have these exact vegetables, you can add whatever you have). Simmer until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Combine the water with the cornstarch and stir until it is all liquid. Stir this into the mixture and cook until it is thickened. Season with freshly ground pepper. Serve with "Easy Steamed Rice"
