Steps

1. Thinly slice the 2 onions after removing the core.
   🕒 02:45
2. Trim the stems from the 1 pack of shimeji mushrooms and separate them by hand. (Tip: You can also use other mushrooms like button or shiitake!)
   🕒 03:11
3. Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
   🕒 03:52
4. Season the 300g of beef stew meat generously with salt and black pepper, then stir-fry over medium heat. (Tip: You can substitute with pork or chicken depending on your budget!)
   🕒 04:04
5. Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the frying pan.
   🕒 04:48
6. Add 1 tsp of vegetable oil to the same pan, add the onions, sprinkle with 2 pinches of salt, and stir-fry over medium heat until softened. (Tip: The salt here enhances the onion's sweetness, not just for seasoning. You don't need to caramelize them; just cook until fragrant and sweet.)
   🕒 05:02
7. Once the onions are softened, add the separated shimeji mushrooms and stir-fry briefly.
   🕒 07:27
8. Return the cooked beef to the frying pan.
   🕒 07:33
9. Add 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour and stir-fry until the floury smell disappears. (Tip: Ensure the flour is thoroughly cooked to avoid a raw flour taste.)
   🕒 07:42
10. Pour in the 200cc of red wine and bring to a boil to evaporate the alcohol.
    🕒 08:20
11. Reduce heat to low, then add [A] 200cc of tomato juice, [A] 200cc of water, [A] 2 tbsp of soy sauce, [A] 2 tbsp of mirin (sweet rice wine), [A] 1.5 tbsp of sugar, and [A] 1.5 tbsp of oyster sauce.
