Nikujaga, without the jaga

Nikujaga (肉じゃが), literally meat and potatoes, is a Japanese stew of beef, potatoes, and onions stewed in soy sauce and mirin. I was having nikujaga cravings after bingeing on Midnight Diner. However, we ran out of potatoes so this is nikujaga without the jagaimo (potato). 

Ingredients 

1 kg beef brisket, cubed

2 onions, chopped

175 mL soy sauce

175 mL mirin

150 mL water

1. Put everything except the water in the Instant Pot and let it marinate for an hour or more. The longer the better. 

2. When ready to cook, pour in the water and Pressure Cook on high for 1.5 hours, then natural release. 

3. Cook on Saute until desired sauce thickness. 

Serve with steamed rice. Next time I should make this with potatoes. 

It turned into a kind of guytamagodon the next day.
