Hayashi Sauce: Heat oil in a pan and stir fry onions until golden brown. Add beef and mushrooms and cook for two minutes. Add cooking sake and allow to evaporate. Add stock/water, crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer, then add the sauce mix. Cook until demi glaze sauce comes to the desired consistency and serve with rice.
