💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Marinate the beef in the sauce mixture for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and tenderness.
- ✓Use a non-stick pan to prevent the beef from sticking and ensure even cooking.
- ✓If you don't have mirin, substitute with a mix of rice vinegar and a bit of sugar for a similar sweetness.
- ✓Prepare the rice in advance and keep it warm; this way, you can serve the dish immediately after cooking the beef.
