Description
Gyudon is a simple Japanese recipe - beef and onions simmered in a sweet and salty broth of soy sauce, sake, and mirin, and then served over rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water + 1 teaspoon hondashi (or 1 cup of dashi, or water, or beef broth)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup sake
- ¼ cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 medium onion, sliced ¼-inch thick, separated into individual strips
- 1 pound very thin-sliced ribeye beef, cut into 3-inch wide strips (aka shaved ribeye, or shaved beef)
- White rice for serving
- Sliced green onions for garnish (optional)
-
Pickled Red Ginger (Beni Shōga) for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Simmer the onion: Stir the hondashi in the warm water to dissolve. Add the dashi (or water + hondashi), soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, and sliced onion to a 12-inch skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and looks translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Simmer the beef: Stir in the sliced ribeye. Simmer, stirring often and breaking up the beef, until the beef is cooked through and the liquid reduces by half, about 5 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy: To serve, fill individual bowls with rice, then top with the beef, onions, and a healthy scoop of the sauce.
