Beef Shigureni - One Pot Wonder

Beef Shigureni is an extremely tasty one pot main dish to make on a busy weeknight.
 
The intense flavour is very satisfying, leaving you wanting seconds and even thirds!
 
 
What I love most about this dish is that it reminds me of the very popular Japanese dish "Sukiyaki" but without all of the fuss.
 
Not only do they taste similar, they even use the same thinly sliced beef. The key to a great tasting Shigureni is using thinly sliced beef for quick cooking just like Sukiyaki.
 
 
This dish is a huge favourite in our household, with Little Miss M & Little Miss P enjoying the sweet yet savoury flavour of this simple dish.
