Hayashi Rice
is a dish popular in Japan as a Western-style dish or '' yōshoku''. It usually contains beef, onions, and button mushrooms, in a thick demi-glace sauce which often contains red wine and tomato sauce. This sauce is served atop or alongside steamed rice. The sauce is sometimes topped with a drizzle of fresh cream. Recipe variants sometimes include soy sauce and sake. The dish originates from the former mining town of Ikuno, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. There was a French engineer who worked for the mine in 1868 and improved it.

Beef Dishes
Beef is the culinary name for meat from cattle (''Bos taurus''). In prehistoric times, humankind hunted aurochs and later domesticated them. Since that time, numerous breeds of cattle have been bred specifically for the quality or quantity of their meat. Today, beef is the third most widely consumed meat in the world, after pork and poultry. As of 2018, the United States, Brazil, and China were the largest producers of beef.

Demi-glace
Demi-glace (, 'half glaze') is a rich brown sauce in French cuisine used by itself or as a base for other sauces. The term comes from the French word ''glace'', which, when used in reference to a sauce, means "icing" or "glaze." It is traditionally made by combining one part espagnole sauce and one part brown stock. The sauce is then reduced by half, strained of any leftover impurities, and finished with a sherry wine. Common variants of demi-glace use a 1:1 mixture of beef or chicken stock to sauce espagnole; these are referred to as "beef demi-glace" (''demi-glace au bœuf'') or "chicken demi-glace" (''demi-glace au poulet''). The term "demi-glace" by itself implies that it is made with the traditional veal stock. Preparation The basic recipe for demi-glace is provided by the French chef Auguste Escoffier, who is often considered to have refined the method of French cooking, as well as codified many standard French recipes. Although many recipes for demi-glace give the pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hashed Beef

Family Meal
A family meal or staff meal is a group meal that a restaurant serves its staff outside of peak business hours. The restaurant provides the meal free of charge, as a perk of employment. Typically the meal is served to the entire staff at once, with all staff being treated equally, like a "family". The restaurant's own chefs (traditionally, but not always, the lowest in the pecking order) prepare the meal, often using leftover or unused ingredients. As a result usually the meals don't involve dishes on the restaurant's regular menu. Chefs may also use the family meal to experiment with new recipes, or simply whip up something from their own ethnic backgrounds. Several cookbooks have been published describing family meals at well-known restaurants. Examples include: * ''The Family Meal: Home Cooking with Ferran Adria'' by Ferran Adrià of elBulli El Bulli () was a restaurant near the town of Roses, Catalonia, Spain , image_flag = Bandera de España.svg , image_coat ...
