JAPANESE BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add beef and stir-fry until browned and no longer pink in the centers, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onions and carrots; stir-fry until onions start to turn golden, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Pour in water and add potatoes; add more water if needed to cover. Cover the pan with a lid and cook until potatoes are soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Add curry sauce mix and stir until mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.

JAPANESE SWEET AND SPICY BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Cut the onion into bite-sized pieces. Cut the carrot into 3/4 inch (2cm) half rounds. Finely chop the garlic and ginger.
• Heat the oil in a pan. Before it gets very hot, add the garlic and ginger, and saute until fragrant. Add the onion and carrot, and saute another minute or so.
• Add the water, cover the pan, and simmer 10 minutes, until carrot becomes soft. Remove the pan from heat and add the curry roux, stirring until it is completely dissolved. (I found it best to break sections of the roux in smaller pieces and place one of them in a seperate bowl to pour some hot broth on it from the heat to melt it evenly before stirring it back into the big pot.)
• Return the pan to the fire and add the beef, one slice at a time, as this makes it more tender. Stir well and cook until heated through.
• Serve with hot white rice and garnish with little Japanese red pickles and or Japanese pickled scallions; purchased at most asian markets--compliments the dish with its sweet/salty flavor with a crunch. (Optional).

JAPANESE BEEF CURRY - PRESSURE COOKER RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare the Pressure Cooker: Heat up your pressure cooker (Instant Pot: press Sauté button) over medium heat. Ensure your pot is as hot as it can be (Instant Pot: wait until indicator says HOT). Pressure Cook Caramelized Onion Purée: Melt 3 tbsp (45g) unsalted butter in pressure cooker. Add in sliced onions, shallots, ⅓ tsp (1.3g) baking soda. Sauté until moisture starts to come out of the onions (~5 mins). Close lid and pressure cook at High Pressure for 20 minutes, then Quick Release. Open lid. Reduce until Caramelized (takes roughly 16 - 17 mins): There will be lots of moisture from the onions. Reduce until most moisture has evaporated over medium high heat (Instant Pot: press cancel, Sauté button and Adjust once to Sauté More function). Stir constantly with a silicone spatula. Once most moisture has evaporated, adjust to medium heat (Instant Pot: press cancel and Sauté). Stir until onions are deep golden brown and all moisture has evaporated. Season with kosher salt & ground black pepper to taste. Remove caramelized onion purée and set aside. Brown the Chuck Steak: Adjust to medium high heat (Instant Pot: press cancel, Sauté button and Adjust once to Sauté More function. Wait until indicator says HOT). Lightly season chuck steak with kosher salt & black pepper. Add 1 tbsp (15ml) of olive oil in the pot. Ensure to coat oil over whole bottom of the pot. Add seasoned chuck roast in the pot. Brown for 6 - 8 mins on each side without flipping. Remove and set aside on a chopping board. Sauté the Garlic: Add in chopped garlic and stir until fragrant (about 30 secs). Deglaze: Pour in roughly ½ cup (100 ml) of unsalted chicken stock and completely deglaze the pot by scrubbing all flavorful brown bits with a wooden spoon. Pressure Cook the Chuck Roast: Cut chuck steak into 1.5 - 2 inches stew cubes, and place them along with its meat juice back to the pot. Add remaining unsalted chicken stock, 1 tbsp (15ml) Japanese soy sauce and caramelized onion purée. Mix well. Close lid and pressure cook at High Pressure for 32 minutes + 10 minutes Natural Release. Turn off heat. Release remaining pressure. Open lid. Make the Japanese Curry: Taste the caramelized onion beef stew. Mix in the Japanese curry roux cubes one by one while tasting for the right balance of flavors. Taste and add more curry roux or Japanese soy sauce if necessary. We used roughly 2.5 (95g) Japanese curry roux. Serve: Serve over Calrose rice. We sprinkled some mozzarella cheese on top and baked it in the oven until the cheese melted and browned. Just like how the restaurant served it.

JAPANESE WAGYU BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• PREPARING THE MIYAZAKIGYU WAGYU BEEF CUBES: Heat a large Dutch oven on medium-high heat, and add in the grapeseed oil. Season the Miyazakigyu Wagyu beef cubes with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add in the beef cubes. Sear on all sides for 1 minute per side. Once seared, remove the Miyazakigyu Wagyu beef cubes, and place them in the refrigerator.
• PREPARING THE CURRY AND JASMINE RICE: Add the butter to the fat (leftover from cooking the beef cubes) in the Dutch oven. Let the butter melt. Add in the julienned onions, and cook on medium heat until they begin to caramelize. This takes about 7 to 10 minutes. Once caramelized, add in the red wine to deglaze the pan, while scraping the bottom of the pan to pull up any browned bits. Add in the peeled and diced carrots. Cook them down with the onions and red wine for 5 minutes. Once the carrots have started to soften, add in the diced potatoes, beef stock, oriental curry powder, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Place the lid on, so it's partially covering the Dutch oven. Let simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the lid from the Dutch oven after 30 minutes.In a separate pot (at the same time you are cooking the curry), prepare the jasmine rice according to the package instruc-tions.Add the seared Miyazakigyu Wagyu beef cubes and the sliced mushrooms to the Dutch oven. Let those simmer for 10 minutes. Grab a soup bowl. Take 2 cups of the hot broth out of the Dutch oven, and place it in the soup bowl. Mix the broth with the Golden Curry sauce mix. Use a fork or whisk to mix everything together. Make sure this is mixed well before adding it back to the Dutch oven.Pour the broth/sauce mix into the Dutch oven.
• FINAL STEPS: Add in the grated apple, and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Add in the whole milk, and season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve the Wagyu beef curry hot with jasmine rice, and enjoy!
