- Simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute; cool.

Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, marinate the beef in the sauce for at least an hour or overnight if possible. If you don't have soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos can be used as substitutes. To enhance the dish, consider adding sesame oil for a richer flavor or a pinch of crushed red pepper for heat. Make sure to slice the beef against the grain for more tender bites.
Serving Suggestions
Serve beef kushisashi on skewers for a fun presentation, paired with steamed rice or a fresh salad. It also pairs beautifully with Stir-Fried Beef And Tomatoes for a complete meal. Garnish with extra green onions and sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. Consider serving alongside a dipping sauce for an extra kick.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover beef kushisashi can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When reheating, do so gently in a skillet over low heat to prevent the beef from becoming tough. Alternatively, you can microwave it in short intervals, checking frequently to avoid overcooking.
