Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams thinly sliced beef (sirloin or ribeye)
- 2 cups cooked Japanese rice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add the thinly sliced onion and grated ginger to the pan and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the sliced beef to the onions in the pan, and pour the soy sauce mixture over the top.
Cook the beef, stirring frequently, until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and then pour it over the beef and onion mixture in the pan. Cover the pan and let it cook until the egg is just set, about 1-2 minutes.
Divide the hot cooked rice into two serving bowls.
Carefully spoon the beef and egg mixture over the rice in each bowl.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve hot.
