Japanese Mirin-poached Beef

• Rump steak
• 150ml vegetable stock
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 5 tbsp mirin
• 1 tbsp golden caster sugar
• 1 onion, sliced
• Spring onions, finely chopped
• 1 red chilli, thinly sliced
• Steamed rice or thin noodles

1. Combine stock, soy, mirin and sugar in a pan, bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, slice the meat, add the beef and cook for a few more minutes, stirring. Sprinkle with spring onions and chilli (I added some to the pan to add some flavour to the liquid), and serve with steamed rice or noodles (I used vermicelli in this case and I think it works better) and some of the cooking liquid spooned over, or if you prefer soup noodles, pour the rest of the liquid in.

Simples!
