Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 lb thinly sliced beef (I recommend ribeye or chuck meat, but any type will do)
- 1/2 yellow onion
- 1/2 cup dashi stock (can also substitute using 1/2 cup water and 1 tbsp hondashi, which is a form of instant dashi)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 servings rice (I recommend Japanese short-grain or medium grain for the most authentic Japanese experience!)
- For garnishing (optional): red pickled ginger and sliced green onions
Instructions
- To a large pan, bring dashi, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce to a simmer.
- Thinly slice your onions by cutting the onion from pole to pole. Add the onions to the same pan, cooking for 5 minutes on simmer.
- Thinly slice your meat against the grain and add to pan, on top of onions. Let cook for additional 8-10 minutes, covering with a lid.
- Serve over rice and garnish with green onions and red pickled ginger.
