Miso, fermented soybean paste, is used in this dish to provide a beef and soy flavor that is terribly rich. Obviously it will stretch out the meat, but that does not seem to be the concern here. The Japanese have loved beef for the past 100 years or so, and they eat a great deal of it. Still, you will be surprised at how far this dish will go at a meal. Generally it is eaten with boiled rice.
