Gyudon

Dinner decisions, handled: Gyudon pairs beef with onion for a 30-minute Japanese dinner.

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Beef
• 2 Onion
• 3 cups Rice
• 2 cups Dashi
• 0.33 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Mirin
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 2 tbsp Sake
• 0.25 cup Pickled ginger
• 1 tsp Shichimi
• 4 Soft eggs

Steps

1. Slice the beef paper-thin — partially freeze it first for clean slices. Slice the onions into thick wedges.
2. Simmer the dashi, soy, mirin, sugar, and sake; add the onions and cook 5 minutes until soft and sweet.
3. Add the beef in batches, simmering just until the pink disappears, about 3 minutes. Overcooked gyudon beef turns to leather.
4. Spoon the beef and onions with plenty of the savory broth over hot rice in deep bowls.
5. Top with a soft egg, pickled ginger, and shichimi. Sweet-salty, beefy, and ready in half an hour — the weeknight hero.
