Melt-In-Your-Mouth Beef Tendon Curry

• 1 To prepare the beef tendon using a pressure cooker
• 400 to 500 grams Beef tendon
• 1 Japanese leek
• 600 ml Water
• 3 Onion
• 1 Carrot
• 1 to 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 the same amount as the ginger Ginger
• 1 tbsp each Butter and olive oil (or vegetable oil)
• 50 to 100 ml Red wine (or cooking sake)
• 1 packet Shimeji mushrooms (or mushrooms of your choice)
• 700 ml The boiling water from the beef tendon or plain water
• 1 box Commercial Japanese curry roux mix
• 2 tbsp Tomato ketchup
• 1 tbsp Japanese Worcestershire-style sauce

1. Rub and wash the beef tendons in 50C water.
2. Set your water cooker to 50C beforehand.
3. Repeat 4 times.
4. When the hot water runs clear, you're ready to drain the beef!
5. Put the rinsed beef tendons plus the leek and 600 ml of water in a pressure cooker.
6. Bring the cooker up to pressure, and cook under pressure for 10 minutes.
7. If using a regular pot: Bring to a boil, and simmer over low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
8. When the cooker has de-pressurized, take the meat out and rinse it in water.
9. Cut it up into bite-size pieces.
10. (I recommend making the pieces a little on the larger size since they will fall apart a bit later.)
11. Transfer the cooking liquid to another container and let it cool down.
12. When it has cooled down to room temperature, strain it to use later.
13. If you have time, chill the cooking liquid and remove the fat that will harden on the surface.
14. In the meantime, dice the vegetables.
15. Grate the ginger (or use 1-2 teaspoons of pre-grated ginger from a tube).
16. Wash out the pressure cooker, add the butter and olive oil, and saute the Step 6 vegetables over high heat (until the onions have browned).
17. If it looks like the vegetables are burning, add 100 to 200 ml of water.
18. If you are using a conventional pot: Add the beef cooking liquid + water to total the amount indicated on the curry roux box into a pot.
19. If using a pressure cooker: Add the cooking liquid plus water, red wine, the parboiled beef tendon and shimeji mushrooms to the pressure cooker from Step 7.
20. Bring the cooker up to pressure and cook under pressure for 5 minutes.
21. Let it de-pressurize naturally, open the lid, and heat the pot up again with the lid off while skimming off the scum.
22. Turn the heat off and dissolve the roux in it.
23. I use 1/2 'hot' roux and 1/2 'medium-hot' roux!
24. Add the seasoning ingredients to finish!
25. Then simmer over low heat for 1/2 to 1 hour.
26. Done!
27. In Steps 3 and 8, if you are using a pressure cooker, adjust the cooking time as needed.
28. I also have a recipe for the omurice (rice omelette) from Kaimeiken, the restaurant run by the heroine Meiko's father!
