Ingredients

• 1/2 pound beef brisket, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 5 cloves garlic
• ground black pepper to taste
• 3 shishito peppers, or more to taste (optional)
• 3 hard boiled eggs, sliced, or more to taste (optional)

Instructions

1. Fill a large pot with water and add beef; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until meat can be punctured with a fork, about 30 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, white sugar, garlic, and ground black pepper; cook and stir until flavors combine, about 15 minutes.
2. Stir shishito peppers and eggs into the beef mixture. Cook and stir until meat can easily be pulled apart with a fork and liquids have been reduced to a third of the original amount, about 15 minutes.
