Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 300 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
- 100 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, green part only, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine gluten-free soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sesame oil. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and set aside.
In a large pan over medium-high heat, add a touch more sesame oil if needed and add the sliced onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the pan and cook until the beef begins to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Pour the soy sauce mixture and water into the pan with the beef and onions. Add the minced ginger.
Reduce the heat to medium and allow the mixture to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and the sauce has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes.
Divide the cooked rice into four bowls.
Spoon the beef and sauce over the rice in each bowl.
Garnish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
