As much as I love a traditional beef stew, or braised beef short ribs, I like to shake things up sometimes by applying the same techniques to a few non-traditional ingredients. This melt-in-your-mouth, miso-braised beef dish is cold-weather comfort food at its finest. Miso adds an extra-savory element, balanced with a touch of maple syrup, which further enhances the autumnal feel. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Ingredients

1 , 2 1/2 pound
1 pinch cayenne pepper , or to taste
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 kings trumpet mushrooms , halved lengthwise
1 medium yellow onion , diced
0.25 cups sake
0.5 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons yellow miso
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
0.25 cups thinly sliced red chile pepper
0.25 cups thinly sliced green onions

Instructions

1

Season beef with cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and pepper.
2

Heat peanut oil in a pan over high heat. Add beef and brown for 3 minutes on each side. Turn off the heat and transfer beef to a plate.
3

Let the pan cool slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add butter and melt butter in the residual heat. Turn the heat to medium and add mushrooms, cut-sides down. Cook until mushrooms are light brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add onion and season with salt; cook onion until slightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
4

Pour sake into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir in chicken broth, miso, maple syrup, and ketchup, and bring to a simmer. Add browned beef, mushrooms, and any accumulated mushroom juices.
5

Reduce the heat to low or medium-low, cover, and simmer until meat is fork-tender, 2 to 3 hours, turning beef halfway through cooking time.
6

Stir in green onions, chile pepper, and vinegar. Cover and cook for 5 minutes more. Taste and adjust seasonings.
