Ingredients for American Sukiyaki

  • Round Steak
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • Celery
  • Green Pepper
  • Onion
  • Mushrooms
  • Condensed Beef Broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Cooked Rice

How to Make American Sukiyaki

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound thinly sliced beef (sirloin, ribeye, or your favorite cut) and brown on both sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Add 1 cup of sliced onions, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color), and 1/2 cup broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of beef broth, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of mirin (optional, for sweetness).
  4. Return the beef to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cold water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth.
  6. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  7. Serve immediately over hot cooked rice. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
  8. Enjoy your quick and delicious American Sukiyaki!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
