Beef Shitake Rice with Alfalfa Sprouts

This dish was inspired by one of the meals I was able to try out at Aracama, a Filipino cuisine restaurant at The Fort. Their short rib salpicao with mushroom rice was quite good so I was excited to remake it and tweak the dish to my preference. The key ingredients here are sukiyaki beef, shitake mushroom, worcestershire sauce and alfalfa sprouts. Now alfalfa has a strong foresty/earthy taste so you if you are not accustomed yet to this veggie, I suggest using it sparingly.
