First, season the beef, then simmer it with napa cabbage, grilled tofu, and scallions, letting the vegetables release their moisture. Grilled tofu holds its shape well, making this dish easy to prepare.

Recipe background:
I’ve made sukiyaki-style simmered dishes with various cuts of pork before, but this time I tried making it with beef.

Steps

1

Cut the grilled tofu into bite-sized pieces.
2

Slice the scallion diagonally.
3

Cut the napa cabbage into slices about 3/4 inch (2 cm) wide.
4

In a large skillet, add the beef (cut into bite-sized pieces) and the sukiyaki sauce ingredients. Mix well, then heat over medium.
5

Stir while cooking to let the beef cook through and absorb the flavors.
6

Turn off the heat and move the beef to the side of the skillet.
7

Add the grilled tofu from step 1 to the skillet...
8

...then add the scallion from step 2...
9

...then add the napa cabbage from step 3...
10

...cover and simmer over medium heat for a while.
11

When the napa cabbage has softened and reduced in volume, place the beef on top of the cabbage so the cabbage is submerged in the sukiyaki sauce.
12

Cover again and, from time to time, uncover and spoon the sukiyaki sauce over the grilled tofu as it simmers.
13

When everything is well flavored, turn off the heat.
14

If you simmer until most of the liquid is gone, the flavor will become stronger. Taste as you go and simmer to your preferred flavor.
15

If the flavor becomes too strong, add a little water.
16

If you use more vegetables, more liquid will be released, so adjust the amount of sukiyaki sauce as needed for taste.

スーパーで手軽に買える食材を使い、安くて簡単な料理を作ることが好きな主婦です。2010年、子供が下宿を始めたことをきっかけに『下宿生応援レシピ』などでクックパッドを始めました。その後、鶏むね肉を柔らかく&鶏もも肉をぷりぷりジューシーにする方法、フライパンの底から5mmや1cmの油で唐揚げやフライを作る方法、パン作り、フライパンケーキなどなど…色々なものに興味を持ちながら日々の料理をしておりました。今では、孫が食べやすいものはどんなものかなぁ…と考えるようになり、月日の流れを感じます。今後も、食べた人に笑顔になってもらえるよう、私自身も楽しく料理を続けていけたらなと思っております。とうぞ、よろしくお願いいたします。　　　ほっこり〜の
