Ingredients:
- 500g thinly sliced beef (chuck or sirloin)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cups dashi or beef broth
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup sake
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Optional: shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven-spice powder), sesame seeds, scallions
Cooking Guide:
- Prepare the ingredients: Thinly slice the beef and onion.
- Make the sauce: In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine dashi, soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cook the beef: Add the beef to the simmering sauce. Cook until the beef is tender and the liquid has reduced slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the onions: Stir in the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve: Ladle the beef and onion mixture over hot cooked rice. Garnish with shichimi togarashi, sesame seeds, and scallions if desired.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of beef and fattier cuts like short rib.
- If you don’t have dashi, you can use beef broth as a substitute.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sugar.
- Serve with a side of pickled ginger for a classic accompaniment.
- For a heartier meal, add a fried egg on top of the gyudon.
