  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 2 tablespoons sake (or substitute with more mirin)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup dashi stock (or water with a pinch of dashi powder)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Pickled ginger (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
  2. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Add sliced onions and cook until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Increase heat to high and add sliced beef to the pan. Stir-fry until beef is browned and cooked through, just a few minutes.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture into the pan, followed by dashi stock. Stir and let simmer for a few minutes until flavors meld and sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Spoon cooked rice into bowls. Top with beef and onion mixture, drizzling with sauce.
  6. Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and pickled ginger if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, marinate the beef in the sauce mixture for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
  • You can substitute chicken or tofu for beef if you prefer.
