Japanese beef stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. This classic dish is made with beef, vegetables, and a sweet and savory sauce. The beef is typically seared in a pan before being added to the stew, which helps to create a rich and complex flavor. The vegetables add a pop of color and crunch, while the sauce brings the whole dish together. Japanese beef stew is typically served over rice, and it can be garnished with green onions, sesame seeds, or a dollop of sour cream.

Time 7h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds beef chuck roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
1 pod star anise
1 9.5-ounce package dried udon noodles
1/2 bunch watercress, leaves picked (about 3 cups)
Sliced scallions, fresh cilantro and balsamic vinegar, for topping

Steps:

  • Put the beef in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker and season lightly with salt and pepper. Whisk the flour and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl until smooth, then whisk in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, tomato paste, chili-garlic sauce and ginger. Pour into the slow cooker and turn the beef to coat. Add the star anise. Cover and cook on low until the beef is tender, 7 to 8 hours.
  • Discard the star anise and transfer the meat to a plate. Shred into bite-size pieces, removing any large pieces of fat. Skim off any excess fat from the liquid in the slow cooker. Return the meat to the slow cooker and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs; drain. Divide the noodles and beef stew among bowls. Top with the watercress, scallions, cilantro and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

JAPANESE-STYLE BEEF STEW



Japanese-Style Beef Stew image

The beef stew here will be unfamiliar to most cooks, though it has much in common with the classic American dish. It is Japanese in origin and loaded with the warmth of soy, ginger, sweetness (best provided by mirin, the sweet Japanese cooking wine, but sugar or honey will do, too), winter squash and the peel and juice of a lemon. These simple and delicious counterpoints make a great stew.

JAPANESE BEEF STEW



Japanese Beef Stew image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Beef     Onion     Potato     Stew     Carrot     Soy Sauce     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lb boneless beef chuck, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup dashi
1/2 cup sake
1 bunch scallions, white parts trimmed and greens sliced
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
12 (1 1/2-inch) small boiling potatoes (1 lb)
2 large carrots (1 lb)
3 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Prepare beef:
  • Pat beef dry. Heat oil in a 5-quart heavy pot until hot but not smoking and brown beef on all sides. Add dashi, sake, and white parts of scallions and simmer, covered, skimming froth and turning beef occasionally, until meat is very tender, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. (Check periodically and add a few tablespoons water if beef becomes less than half submerged.) Add sugar and simmer, covered, 15 minutes longer (more liquid may evaporate at this point, but that's fine).
  • Prepare vegetables while beef is simmering:
  • Peel potatoes, halving and trimming into ovals if large, and steam, covered, over boiling water until barely tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Cut carrots crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Trim slices with a paring knife to create rounded edges and save trimmings for pickled Napa cabbage.
  • Steam carrots, covered, over boiling water until barely tender, about 7 minutes.
  • Finish stew:
  • Add carrots and potatoes to beef and simmer, tossing occasionally, 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Add soy sauce and bring to a boil. Discard white parts of scallions. Serve stew in small bowls sprinkled with scallion greens.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: For this recipe, chuck roast or beef stew meat are both good options. They are both relatively tough cuts of meat, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
  • Brown the beef before cooking: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to prevent it from becoming dry. To brown the beef, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the beef in batches, until it is browned on all sides.
  • Use a good quality red wine: The red wine in this recipe adds a lot of flavor, so it is important to use a good quality wine. A dry red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, is a good choice.
  • Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables and herbs add flavor and nutrients to this stew. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, potatoes, and thyme.
  • Cook the stew on low heat: The stew should be cooked on low heat for at least 8 hours, or until the beef is tender. This allows the flavors to develop and the stew to thicken.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or rice: This stew is delicious served with mashed potatoes or rice. The mashed potatoes or rice will help to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Conclusion:

This Japanese beef stew is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The stew is made with tender beef, vegetables, and a flavorful red wine sauce. It is cooked in a crock pot, so it is very easy to prepare. Serve this stew with mashed potatoes or rice for a complete meal.
