Miso Beef Stir-Fry 味噌炒牛肉

Recipe using my recently fell for (again) seasoning, miso.

Miso beef stir-fry 味噌炒牛肉 -

Ingredients?

• 160 grams/0.35 lb beef slices
• 1 small onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Small pinch salt
• Small pinch black pepper
• Some toasted white sesame seeds

Sauce -

• 2 tablespoons smooth miso
• 1 teaspoon mirin
• 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon grated garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon grated ginger

How?

Peel and slice the onion. Peel and grate the garlic clove and ginger.

Mix all the ingredients under the sauce section, try to blend till the sugar has been nearly fully dissolved. Set aside for later use.

Drizzle some olive oil to a non-stick pan. Turn to medium high heat. Add in onion slices with a small pinch of salt and a small pinch of black pepper. Stir-fry till the onion turns translucent.

Add in beef slices, gently give it a quick mix till slightly colored, but not fully cooked through yet.

Pour in miso sauce mixture. Stir-fry till fully incorporated, continue to cook for about 30 seconds or so.

Plate and sprinkle some toasted white sesame seeds.

There's no need to marinate the beef slices ahead of time, since the miso sauce is already on the flavorful, saltier side, and I'm trying to reduce workload here in the kitchen. After stir-frying, these beef slices still get to absorb the sauce and turn to rice-killing ingredient.
