02 - Add the sliced onions and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until just softened.
03 - Add the beef and cook until lightly browned, stirring often.
04 - Add the potatoes and carrots, mixing to combine.
05 - Pour in the dashi stock, then add soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Stir well.
06 - Bring to a gentle boil. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
07 - Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid slightly ajar, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded.

09 - For a glossy finish, remove the lid for the final 5 minutes and let the sauce reduce slightly.
10 - Add snow peas or green beans in the last 2 to 3 minutes so they stay bright and crisp.
11 - Serve hot with steamed white rice.
