Gyudon (Beef Bowl)

This is a savory quick meal in Japan. It is a protein-packed dish and all my boys love this.

Sliced beef (Sliced Beef Loin New York Steak at Costco) 1lb

One medium/large onion

*Water 2 cups

*Soy sauce 1/4 cup

*Mirin (cooked sake) 2 tbsp

*Cooking Rice Wine/Sake 2 tbsp

*Dashi (fish stock) 2 tsp

*Sugar 3 tbsp

*A pinch of salt

Cooked Rice (White or Brown)

Combine all the *ingredients in a medium pot and set the pot to a medium-high heat.

Cut the onion in half and slice each half in 1/2 inch slices.

Cut the sliced beef 3 inches long.

Add the sliced onions to the pot.

Separate the sliced beef from each other and add one slice at a time to the pot and give it a stir.

Skim off the scum and fat with a flat soup ladle.

Cook until onions are semi-translucent. The total cooking time from the start should be 10-15 minutes.

Pour the beef mixture over the cooked rice.
