This is our family's standard recipe for nikujaga. It's so easy, but my husband is delighted every time I make it, so I'm quite proud of it.

How to make an instant drop lid (otoshibuta):
Moisten a paper towel and wring out. Make a hole in the center. Drape this on top of the simmering contents of the pan.
This performs the function of a drop lid and also removes any scum that rises to the surface - two birds with one stone! For 3-4 servings. Recipe by Nassan

Steps

1

Prep the vegetables: Cut into easy-to-eat pieces. Put the potato pieces in a bowl of water for about 10 minutes.
2

Heat oil (not listed) in a pan, and cook the beef. When it's about 80% cooked, add the vegetables and cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
3

Add the ◆ ingredients. When it comes to a boil, cover with an instant drop lid (see Hints), cover the pan with a regular lid on top, and simmer over low heat until the vegetables are tender.
4

Take both lids off, raise the heat to high and simmer until most of the liquid has reduced. Let it cool down naturally so that the flavors penetrate everything.
