Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams thinly sliced beef (such as ribeye or sirloin)
- 1 large yellow onion
- 60 milliliters gluten-free soy sauce
- 50 milliliters sake
- 50 milliliters mirin
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 250 milliliters dashi stock
- 4 servings cooked gluten-free rice
- 4 tablespoons pickled ginger (beni shoga)
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 handful optional: few sprigs of mizuna or arugula
Instructions
Slice the onion into thin wedges and set aside.
Chop the green onions finely and, if using, the mizuna or arugula. Set aside for garnishing.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, and dashi stock. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, until they are soft and translucent.
Introduce the thinly sliced beef into the pot, spreading it out evenly to cook in the simmering liquid.
Simmer the beef and onions for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and tender.
While the beef is cooking, prepare your bowls of cooked gluten-free rice.
Once the beef is done, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For added sweetness, you may add another teaspoon of sugar, or for more saltiness, a splash more soy sauce.
To serve, divide the beef and onions over each bowl of rice, ensuring even distribution of sauce.
Top each serving with a tablespoon of pickled ginger, freshly chopped green onions, and a few sprigs of mizuna or arugula if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your delightful gluten-free gyudon experience!
