Yoshinoya Beef Bowl Gyudon Recipes

YOSHINOYA BEEF BOWL (GYUDON)

Steps:

• Gather all the ingredients.
• If you cannot find sliced beef in your local grocery store, freeze a block of fresh chuck or rib eye for 1-2 hours and slice. See this post for detailed instructions. If the pieces are too large after slicing, then cut them in half. I use sliced beef labeled "komagire" from my local Japanese market and cut the slices further into smaller pieces.
• Cut the onion into thin slices and slice the green onion into thin rounds. Set aside.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the dashi, sake, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce.
• Cover the pan with a lid and bring the sauce to a boil. Once the sauce is boiling, add the sliced onions and spread them out in a single layer. Cover to cook until tender (make sure you cover the pan, otherwise the sauce will evaporate).
• When the onions are tender, add the beef and cook until it's no longer pink. Remove the foam and fat with a fine-mesh skimmer.
• Divide the steamed rice into individual serving bowls. Serve the simmered meat and sauce over the steamed rice.
• Top with the sliced green onions and pickled red ginger. If you'd like to add an egg, serve with an onsen tamago on top. Alternatively, you can pour beaten egg over the meat when it's almost finished cooking in the pan (see how I do it in my other Gyudon recipe).

Steps:

• Cook rice according to directions.
• Slice onion thinly. Cut thinly sliced beef into bite-sized pieces. Set aside. Put dashi, soy sauce, sugar, mirin, sake, ginger juice and garlic in a pan. Add onion slices in the pot and bring to just under a boil then lower to a simmer. Allow to simmer for minimum of 5 minutes.
• Boil enough water for 1/2 package of frozen carrots, broccoli and cauliflower. When water is at a boil, add contents of package of vegetables as well as 1/4 head of cabbage. When vegetables are almost done, (4-5 minutes), drain them. Add beef and drained vegetables into the saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes. If veggies cooked earlier then add additional time to allow sauce to return to simmer and fully cook meat.
• Serve hot steamed rice in a deep rice bowl. Put the beef and vegetable topping on the top of rice. Place some red ginger on the top if you would like.
