  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar

Pickled carrots and daikon

Instructions

  • Combine the ingredients for the marinade. Add the beef and toss to coat. Cover and let sit at room temperature for one hour.
  • Pickle the carrots and daikon. Combine rice vinegar - salt in a small sauce pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and pour over the carrots and daikon. Let cool.
