- 10 Cherry Tomatoes
- 1/2 Medium Onion
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp Olive Oil

- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine)
- 1/2 Tbsp Sake (Japanese Rice Wine)
- 2/3 tsp Mustard (e.g., Dijon or whole grain)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Prepare the premium beef sirloin, thinly sliced for stir-fry. To tenderize and season it, mix in a pinch of salt, 1/2 Tbsp sake, and 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch. Gently massage the marinade into the beef. This step is crucial for ensuring the beef becomes wonderfully tender and absorbs the flavors beautifully.
Step 2
2. Take your ripe avocado. Carefully peel off the skin, remove the pit, and cut it into four wedges. Then, slice each wedge into bite-sized pieces, about 2 to 3 cm in size. Avoid cutting them too small, as they can become mushy during the stir-frying process.
Step 3
3. Peel and thinly slice the medium onion. Aim for slices about 5mm thick. Slicing them too thinly might cause them to burn quickly, so a moderate thickness is ideal.
Step 4
4. Now, let’s start stir-frying. Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil. Once the pan is hot, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
5. Add the marinated beef to the pan and stir-fry over high heat until it’s no longer pink on the outside. Next, add the cherry tomatoes and the prepared sauce mixture. Stir everything together well to coat the ingredients evenly with the sauce as it simmers.
Step 6
6. Finally, gently add the sliced avocado to the pan. Stir-fry briefly, just until the avocado is warmed through and coated in the sauce. Be careful not to overcook the avocado; you want it to retain some of its creamy texture. As the cherry tomatoes release their juices, they will mingle with the sauce, creating a delicious, rich flavor. Serve immediately over rice for a delightful meal!
