Recipes

  • 1. Clean mushrooms and cut them into slices.
  • 2. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan on medium heat and put the beef. When you can see the golden brown color on the beef, turn it over. Place the pan on a wet kitchen towel for 3 to 5 seconds to lower the heat.
  • POINT! If you continue to cook meat at a high heat, it gets tough and dries up. Cook it at a lower heat till the meat is done as you like. Then, arrange it on a plate.

  • 3. Cook the mushrooms in the frying pan until they are soft. Add salt and pepper (not mentioned) to taste. Mix wasabi into the pan. Add corn starch and water and cook till it has thickened.
  • 4. Pour 3 on to the steak.
