  • Add dashi stock and seasoning sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes then add thinly sliced beef. Cook for 2 minutes or until the beef is fully cooked. Turn off the heat and drizzle sesame oil on top.
  • Transfer cooked beef over a bowl of cooked rice, making sure to leave the sauce in the pan. Bring the sauce back up to a boil over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until slightly reduced. Pour the sauce over the beef.
