How to Make Sukiyaki Big Bowls

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat until sizzling.
  2. Add 1 pound of thinly sliced steak (about 1/2 of the total).
  3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Remove the seared steak with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  5. Add the remaining 1 pound of steak to the saucepan and sear as before.
  6. Return all the seared steak to the saucepan.
  7. Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup sliced bamboo shoots (or less), 1/2 cup sliced water chestnuts (or less), 1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper strips, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/3 - 1/2 cup chopped green onions, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional), 1 cup low-sodium beef broth, and 1/4 cup soy sauce.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally (about 4-5 minutes).
  9. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until the flavors meld and the mushrooms are tender (about 5-6 minutes).
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch.
  11. Increase heat to medium-high. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the steak mixture.
  12. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened.
  13. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes.
  14. Divide 6 cups of cooked rice (made from 2 cups uncooked rice) evenly among 8 microwave-safe, resealable plastic food bowls.
  15. Evenly divide the sukiyaki mixture over the rice in each bowl.
  16. Cover the bowls and freeze until ready to serve. Microwave until heated through before enjoying.
