Receta Yoshie's Curried Beef and Rice
Her name was Yoshie and she was my houseguest for ten days many years ago. She spoke 7 languages and was a chaperone from Tokyo with a teen 4-H exchange program. Yoshie loved to cook and wanted to prepare dinner every night for us. Did we protest? Not! Curried Beef and Rice was a thumbs-up favorite of teens and families wherever she went. Definitely a comfort food stew for fall and winter evenings. Doesn't seem authentically Japanese, but most likely represents the influence of Southeast Asian cuisine. I haven't tried substitutions but am sure it would be great using chicken or pork too.
