Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams lean beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce, low sodium
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 onion, medium and thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 150 grams broccoli florets
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 2 spring onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
In a small mixing bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, mirin, sake, water, and sugar to create the donburi sauce.
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the minced ginger and garlic. Sauté gently until fragrant.
Add the sliced onion to the pan and cook until soft and translucent.
Stir in the julienned carrot and broccoli florets. Sauté for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the thinly sliced beef to the empty space. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned on all sides.
Pour the previously prepared donburi sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
In a serving bowl, place a portion of cooked brown rice. Top with the beef and vegetable mixture.
Garnish each bowl with chopped spring onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your healthy low-fat beef donburi!
