Ingredients

  • 500 grams Thinly sliced beef (chuck or ribeye)
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 250 ml Water
  • 1 teaspoon Dashi powder
  • 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Mirin
  • 2 tablespoons Sake
  • 4 cups Cooked white rice
  • 0 Pickled red ginger (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the onion into half-moons.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pot or skillet, combine water, dashi powder, soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and sake. Stir well to dissolve the dashi and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the pot and simmer for about 5 minutes or until they become slightly translucent and tender.

Step 4

Add the thinly sliced beef to the pot. Spread the beef pieces out evenly to prevent clumping. Simmer for 7-10 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and tender. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.

Step 5

Taste the simmering sauce and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce or sugar, if needed.

Step 6

To serve, place 1 cup of cooked white rice into each individual bowl. Spoon the beef and onion mixture over the rice, ensuring each bowl gets a good amount of the sauce.

Step 7

Top the beef bowl with pickled red ginger as garnish if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
