Cooking tips

  • Since the vegetables release moisture, use only about 150ml of water to prevent the dish from becoming bland.
  • Covering with parchment paper during simmering helps the heat and seasoning penetrate evenly into all the ingredients.
  • Adding butter at the end gives the dish a uniquely Japanese richness and a smooth, velvety finish.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a Japanese-style braised beef and potatoes with a gentle sweet and savory seasoning.
  • Those looking for a neat main dish that pairs well with rice as well as sake or wine.
