Beef Round Steak with Balsamic Condiment Sauce

Ingredients (serves 2)

  • 2 pieces round beef, about 3.5 oz each
  • 4 oz shimeji mushrooms
  • 3.5 oz broccoli
  • 1.5 oz mixed beans
  • Salt and coarse black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, to taste
  • Cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water), to taste

Sauce 

  • 3 tablespoons ponzu
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Condiment

  • 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped
  • 1/8 onion, finely chopped
  • 0.5 oz garlic, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Take the beef out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Season with salt and pepper just before cooking. Remove the stems from the shimeji mushrooms and pull apart by hand. Cut the broccoli into small florets.

  2. Step 2

    Combine sauce ingredients in a small pan and bring to a boil. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir well. Add condiment ingredients, stir to combine, and remove from heat once the mixture returns to a boil.

  3. Step 3

    Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the beef without moving for 1 minute. Flip, cook for 30 seconds, then transfer to a cutting board and allow to finish cooking with residual heat.

  4. Step 4

    In the same pan, add the broccoli and shimeji mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Slice the beef as desired and serve alongside the broccoli, mushrooms, and mixed beans. Spoon the sauce over the top.
