This is embarrassing, but I miss Japanese steak. Can you help me?!
What's embarrassing is that I want to know how to make a steak she made me one night. Look, it's not that I remember her cooking. It's her I miss. But it was the most delicious steak I ever had in my life.
She made it on the stove top. It had shoyu (with probably other things, maybe sugar and or mirin, among others) and carrots. That's it. She pan fried it in this shoyu mixture with carrots. It is not because I still desperately remember her, she was VERY good at cooking.
Can someone help me relive this past glory? I am still sad about not marrying her.
Answers: For a short, beautiful time, I had a Japanese girlfriend. Oh, how I regret losing her. I think of her almost every day, more than 13 years after our time together.

Japanese (Wafū) steak sauce is made from,shoyu, sake, mirin. It seems sugar is not used. It's popular to add Japanese white radish (daikon) or onion. And of cource salt and pepper is added. Meat itself possibly made in Japan, not other countries'.
