Japan’s Favorite Beef Rice Bowl – Gyudon

Welcome to Day 9 of my first series – Cooking Dinner for 21 Days! Today, I am making Beef Gyudon (Beef Rice Bowl) for dinner. A quick, delicious, easy, and savory beef dish that I promise will impress all your guests. Trust me when I say once you realize how easy this is to make, you will be having this at least once a week. You’ll never have to order Gyudon from restaurants ever again! 

Gyudon

I recommend using hot pot sliced beef. However, if you cannot access hot pot beef, you can also ask your butcher to cut thin slices of meat. I recommend rib-eye or sirloin for this dish.

Gyudon
  1. In a pan, add soy sauce, mirin, sugar & dashi stock. 
  2. Add in the onion and turn the heat up to medium-high. Ensure every slice of onion is soaked in the sauce and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent. 
  3. Once the onion is translucent, add in the beef and make sure the meat is soaked in the sauce. Put the lid on and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the meat is fully cooked.
  4. Optional, however, HIGHLY recommended, poach an egg. 
  5. Serve on top of a bowl of hot rice and garnish with green onion. 

Enjoy!
