Notes

Quite the “unique” but good and healthy recipe I believe. Japanese in origin it is basically a beef bowl and very simple to put together but full of flavor. The amounts below are for 4 servings.

Ingredients

  • Flank Steak or Skirt Steak
  • 4 eggs
  • Green onions
  • 2 medium onions
  • Garlic
  • 1 cup dashi stock
  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Mirin
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 4 cups cooked white rice
  • Sesame seeds
  • MSG (Optional)

Steps

  1. Freeze your meat for 2 hours. This will make thinly slicing a lot easier
  2. After the meat is semi-frozen slice it into thin strips about 2 mm thick
  3. In a bowl, mix together the meat, soy sauce, MSG, Salt, and Black Pepper. Really mix the meat roughly and beat the shit out of it
  4. Let it sit refrigerated for up to 24 hours
  5. Prepare your rice
  6. Heat up a large pan and throw in some vegetable oil or any other neutral-flavored oil
  7. Prepare your dashi stock. I used Hondashi to make 1 cup. You can find this at any Asian grocery store
  8. Meanwhile, slice up your onions and mince your garlic, and green onions
  9. Add in onions then salt them, and cook for approximately 10 minutes on medium heat
  10. Add in garlic
  11. Turn up the heat to high and add in your meat to brown it
  12. After a few moments add in your dashi stock, mirin, sugar, and soy sauce
  13. Let it cook and reduce for a while. You want it to be saucy but not watery. To make this go by faster or to get a thicker sauce you can add a little bit of cornstarch
  14. Fry up your egg in a separate pan to desired egg cooked-ness
  15. Serve some of the Gyudon atop a bed of rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions
  16. Enjoy.
