Gyudon / Japanese Beef Bowl 日式牛丼飯


Gyudon is a Japanese dish of thinly sliced beef cooked in sweet sauce mixture to serve over the rice. I’ve ordered Gyudon quite often when eating at Japanese restaurant as this was something I wouldn’t cook at home. The reason is I can’t get thinly sliced beef from supermarkets, don’t like the quality of frozen shabu meat from oriental stores, either. However since last year there’s a new Korean butcher shop opening at my area, I can finally get a nicer and fresher quality of thinly sliced beef and am able to make myself Gyudon at home! Adapted from MASAの料理ABC recipe, here is how I made it:

 

Ingredients

-100g beef belly shabu slices, marinated with honey and ginger mince for 15 minutes.

-1/2 onion, sliced.

-150ml water.

-50ml mirin.

-1 tbsp sake.

-Chopped spring onions and sesame seeds to garnish.

 

For the Sauce Mixture

-1 tsp sugar.

-1 tbsp soy sauce.

-A pinch of salt.

-A pinch of garlic powder. (optional)

 

Method

1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, stir fry onions until tender.

2. Add water, mirin, and sake mixture in, bring it to a boil.

3. Add marinated beef and cook until the meat is no longer pink.

4. Add sauce mixture, reduce to low heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes.

5. Serve over the rice, top with an egg of your choice (I did poached egg) and sprinkle with spring onions and sesame seeds.

 

I think I missed to put on pink sushi ginger (a must to pair with Gyudon) but this was still so yum!
