Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the Vegetables
    A pair of hands cutting broccoli florets and carrot chunks on a wooden cutting board.

    Take the broccoli florets and carrots, then chop them into bite-sized chunks on a wooden cutting board.

    Tip: Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes so they cook evenly later.
  2. 2Slice the Red Onion
    Hands holding a knife and slicing a red onion into thin strips on a cutting board.

    Place the red onion half flat-side down on the cutting board and slice it carefully into thin strips.

    Tip: Slice along the grain to keep the onion strips intact during stir-frying.
  3. 3Prepare the Miso Sauce
    An empty ceramic bowl with a small whisk and wooden spoon resting on a wooden surface.

    In a small ceramic bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of organic red miso, 1 tablespoon of organic soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon of white sugar. Stir thoroughly until well combined.

    Tip: Make sure the sugar and miso are fully dissolved into the liquid ingredients to prevent burning in the pan.
  4. 4Heat the Pan and Sauté Onions
    A black frying pan sitting on a portable stove with a hand holding the handle.

    Heat the frying pan with a little oil, then add the sliced red onion strips and sauté until fragrant.

    Tip: Use medium heat to prevent the onions from burning before they release their sweetness.
  5. 5Add Carrot Chunks
    Carrot chunks being transferred from a white plate into a frying pan containing sautéed onion strips.

    Add the prepared carrot chunks into the frying pan along with the sautéed onions and stir-fry for about 3 minutes.

    Tip: Stir-frying carrots in oil helps release their beta-carotene and enhances flavor.
  6. 6Add Sauce and Water
    Carrot chunks and onion strips simmering in a frying pan.

    Pour the previously prepared miso sauce mixture and a little water into the pan with the vegetables, and bring everything to a boil.

    Tip: Adjust the amount of water depending on how thick you want the sauce to be.
  7. 7Add Beef and Broccoli
    Thin beef slices and green broccoli florets being added to a simmering pan with carrots and savory sauce.

    Place the beef slices and broccoli florets directly into the simmering sauce and carrot mixture in the pan. Cook everything together for 1 minute until the beef is just cooked through and tender.

    Tip: Do not overcook the beef slices or they will become tough; 1 minute is plenty of time for thin slices in simmering liquid.
  8. 8Serve and Garnish
    A pair of chopsticks placing cooked beef slices onto a bowl of cooked rice.

    Spoon the cooked beef, tender broccoli, and carrots over a warm bowl of cooked rice. Drizzle the remaining flavorful sauce over the top and garnish with a sprinkle of white sesame seeds.

    Tip: Drizzling the rich sauce over the rice ensures every bite is packed with savory miso flavor.
