Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Thinly sliced beef (chuck or ribeye)
- 1 medium Onion
- 250 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Dashi powder
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 2 tablespoons Sake
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
- Pickled red ginger (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Thinly slice the onion into half-moons.
In a medium-sized pot or skillet, combine water, dashi powder, soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and sake. Stir well to dissolve the dashi and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the pot and simmer for about 5 minutes or until they become slightly translucent and tender.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the pot. Spread the beef pieces out evenly to prevent clumping. Simmer for 7-10 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and tender. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
Taste the simmering sauce and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce or sugar, if needed.
To serve, place 1 cup of cooked white rice into each individual bowl. Spoon the beef and onion mixture over the rice, ensuring each bowl gets a good amount of the sauce.
Top the beef bowl with pickled red ginger as garnish if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
