Mushroom and Prawn Sukiyaki Hot Pot

Ingredients

  • 700 g grass-fed beef strips (sirloin, flank, or rump steak)
  • 4 large portobello mushrooms (approx. 400 g total)
  • 8 medium carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise (about 600 g)
  • 2 bunches broccolini (approx. 400 g)
  • 6½ tbsp olive oil total (≈ 97 mL)
  • (2 tbsp for beef + 2 tbsp for mushrooms + 1½ tbsp for carrots + 1 tbsp for broccolini)
  • 1 tbsp butter (14 g)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (6 g)
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tsp salt total (≈ 12 g)
  • (½ tsp for beef + ½ tsp for mushrooms + ½ tsp for carrots + ½ tsp for broccolini)
  • 1¼ tsp black pepper total (≈ 5 g)
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional, 15 mL)
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, 7 g)



Instructions

1. Roast the carrots and mushrooms

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Toss carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper, and honey/maple syrup if using. Spread on half of the tray.
  • Place the portobello mushrooms on the other half, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic (if using), and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once halfway through. Mushrooms should be tender and juicy; carrots caramelized and golden.

2. Grill the beef

  • While vegetables roast, heat a grill pan or barbecue over high heat.
  • Toss beef strips with olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.
  • Grill for 2–3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking (medium-rare to medium recommended).
  • Rest for a few minutes before serving to keep tender and juicy.

3. Steam and fry the broccolini

  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil, and lightly steam broccolini for 2–3 minutes until bright green. Drain well.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the broccolini and sauté for 2–3 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper until slightly crisp on the edges.

4. Serve

  • Plate each portion with a serving of grilled beef strips, a whole roasted mushroom, a few roasted carrots, and a generous side of buttery broccolini.
  • Drizzle any beef or mushroom juices over the top for extra flavor.

Optional Garnish

  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley or thyme before serving.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon over the broccolini for brightness.
