Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Pan

Ingredients

  • 2 substantial Vidalia Onions artfully Sliced
  • 6 tablespoons of Artisanal Soy Sauce
  • 1 pound of Delicately Thinly Sliced Beef Choose sirloin or rib eye for a Gourmet touch
  • 4 tablespoons of Organic Cane Sugar
  • 6 tablespoons of Authentic Mirin Sweet Rice Wine
  • 4 tablespoons of Handcrafted Sake Japanese Rice Wine
  • 4 cups of Steamed Japanese Rice
  • 2 teaspoons of Cold-Pressed Vegetable Oil
  • 1 cup of Handcrafted Dashi Japanese Soup Stock
  • 4 Elegantly Thinly Sliced Green Onions if your Culinary Aesthetic Desires
  • 4 Free-Range Eggs if a Luxurious Finish is Desired

Instructions

  • Heat two teaspoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they caramelize and turn golden brown.
  • Increase the heat and add the thinly sliced beef to the pan. Stir-fry until the beef is cooked through.
  • In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, mirin, sake, and dashi. Pour this mixture over the beef and onions in the pan.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer the beef and onion mixture until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients beautifully.
  • In another pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up or as desired.
  • Dish out the cooked Japanese rice into bowls. Top each bowl with the beef and onion mixture. Optionally, add a fried egg on top of each serving and garnish with thinly sliced green onions for extra flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Marinating the beef in the soy sauce mixture before cooking will help to give the dish a unique flavor.
  • Adding the dried seaweed flakes to the broth will give the dish a nice crunch.
  • Letting the broth simmer for a few minutes will help to thicken it up and give it a more flavorful consistency.
  • If you don’t have mirin, you can use a combination of rice vinegar and sugar.
  • If you don’t have sake, you can use dry white wine.
