- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce (*see footnote 2)
- 1 tablespoon Japanese sake
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon miso

- Cut and Prep veggies.
- Combine light soy sauce, Japanese sake, oyster sauce, miso, sugar, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
- Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until warm. Add onion. Cook and stir until soft, about 2 minutes.
- Add chicken stock and the mixed sauce. Cook until bringing to a boil.
- Spread beef slices in the skillet. Cook until bringing to a gentle simmer and immediately turn to low heat.
- Simmer uncovered until beef turns tender and the sauce thickens, for 40 to 50 minutes.
- While simmering the beef, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli and carrots. Cook until just soft. Drain and set aside.
- Add rice to serving bowls. Top with broccoli and carrots on one side, and the beef on the other side. Drizzle with the beef sauce. Serve warm.

Notes
- You can use thinly sliced beef directly if you have it.
- You can use 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt as an alternative.
- The beef will fall apart easily during braising if you slice against the grain.
