Direction
1. Mix grated onion with honey. Put them in a bag with thinly sliced beef. Mix well and keep it in the fridge for 30 minutes to soften the meat.
2. Put sugar and water in a pot. Bring to a light boil and turn off the heat when you smell a nice caramel aroma.
3. Add mirin and red wine into the pot. Boil for 1 minute to remove alcohol.
4. Turn off the heat, and add ☆ to the pot. Mix well and add onion. Simmer for about 3 minutes.
5. Add beef and simmer until beef is fully cooked. Let it sit for a few hours before eating to allow the flavors to soak in and make it even tastier. Top with egg and red pickled ginger, if desired.
