Hayashi Rice

It's one of Japanized Western dishes similar to beef stew. Hayashi rice is said to be named after "hashed beef". Using prepared demi-glace makes it easy to cook hayashi rice.

Ingredients:
* 3/4 lb thinly sliced beef, cut into bite-sized pieces
* 2 small onion, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick wedges
* 1 carrot, sliced into thin half-rounds
* 1 totato, peeled and cubed
* 2 Tbsp butter
* 2/3 cup red wine
* 1 1/4 cup prepared demi-glace
* 1 Tbsp Worceter sauce
* 2 Tbsp ketchup
* 4 cups steamed rice

Preparation:
Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a large skillet and saute beef on high heat until its color changes. Remove beef on a plate. Melt 1 Tbsp of butter in the skillet and saute onion on medium heat until softened. Add carrot slices and saute together until carrots are softened. Put sauteed beef and vegetables in a deep pot. Pour red wine over the ingredients and simmer until the liquid is almost gone on medium heat. Add demi-glace and 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to low. Add tomato and simmer for about 15 minutes, removing any foam rising on the surface. Season with Worceter sauce and ketchup. Serve hot steamed rice on plates and pour hayashi sauce over the rice.
