I grew up eating a very similar dish - we would let beef boil in this soy sauce mixture for a few hours and then add boiled eggs. They're so delicious with rice!

This is a really intriguing recipe. I've never heard of these before, though I enjoy putting soy sauce on sliced hard boiled eggs. We're fortunate to have a very well stocked Asian grocery nearby which carries a large variety of soy sauces. My wife enjoys a sweet soy sauce made by ABC Indonesia and imported by Fusion Garden and I'm interested in trying that with this recipe.
