Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 400 grams Shirataki rice
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 2 tablespoons Sake
- 1 tablespoon Granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the shirataki rice according to package instructions, typically by rinsing thoroughly and boiling for 2-3 minutes to reduce any natural scent. Drain well and set aside.
Heat sesame oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the thinly sliced onion to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Increase the heat to high and add the sliced beef sirloin to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix soy sauce, mirin, sake, and erythritol. Pour this mixture over the beef and onions.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the beef simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes until well-coated and slightly thickened.
Layer the prepared shirataki rice in serving bowls. Top with the beef mixture, allowing some of the sauce to drizzle over the rice.
Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful low-carb beef donburi!
