Beef Zabuton

Potato Puree

Sauteed Green Beans

Crispy Onions

Method

Beef Zabuton

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season the beef zabuton with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  2. 2

    Slow Cook the Beef

    Transfer the seared beef to a slow cooker. In the same skillet, combine beef broth, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and brown sugar. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours until the beef is tender.

Potato Puree

  1. 3

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the chopped russet potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and heavy cream. Mash until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

Sauteed Green Beans

  1. 5

    Cook the Green Beans

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Sauté the Beans

    Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.

Crispy Onions

  1. 7

    Prepare the Onions

    In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced onions with flour and salt until evenly coated.

  2. 8

    Fry the Onions

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the coated onions in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
