Step 1
Thinly slice the beef against the grain. Slice the onion into half-moons and chop the mushrooms.
Step 2
Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry for thickening.
Step 3
Heat butter in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned, about 2 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, sauté the onion and mushrooms over medium-high heat until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to caramelize slightly.
Step 6
Add beef stock, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Bring to a simmer and return the beef to the pan.
Step 7
Simmer for 10 minutes to develop flavors. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
Step 8
Add frozen peas and cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 9
Divide cooked rice into bowls and top with the beef and sauce. Serve immediately.
