Description

Gyudon is a popular Japanese dish featuring tender beef cooked in a sweet and savory sauce, served over rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef (thinly sliced)
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 onion (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • Green onions (for garnish)
  • Shredded nori (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Add sliced onions and sauté until translucent.
  3. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook until browned.
  4. Pour in soy sauce, mirin, and sugar; stir to combine and cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Serve the beef mixture over bowls of cooked rice.

Notes

For the best flavor, use well-marbled cuts like ribeye or sirloin. Thinly slice the beef against the grain for easier chewing.
