Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Beef sirloin
- 60 milliliters Soy sauce
- 60 milliliters Mirin
- 2 tablespoons Sake
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 unit Garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 unit Onion, sliced
- 500 grams Cooked jasmine rice
- 2 units Green onions, sliced
- 1 unit Carrot, julienned
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 120 milliliters Water
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the sauce.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
Add the sliced onion to the pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.
Increase the heat to high and add the beef slices to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides.
Pour the prepared sauce over the beef, reduce the heat to medium, and add the water. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the sauce reduce slightly.
Meanwhile, prepare your serving bowls by placing a portion of cooked jasmine rice in each.
When the beef is cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove from heat.
Spoon the beef and sauce mixture over the rice in the serving bowls.
Garnish each bowl with julienned carrot, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
