Ginger-Heavy Beef Bowl

Ingredients

• 1 lb Thinly sliced ribeye or brisket
• 3 tbsp Fresh ginger, finely grated
• 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Sake
• 2 tbsp Mirin
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 0.5 cup Dashi or beef stock
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped(optional)
• 4 cups Steamed white rice

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, and dashi until the sugar is dissolved.

2. 2

   Place a large skillet or pot over medium heat and add the sliced onions and half of the grated ginger.

3. 3

   Pour the liquid mixture over the onions and bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes until the onions soften.

4. 4

   Add the beef slices to the simmering liquid, spreading them out to ensure they cook evenly and don't clump.

5. 5

   Skim off any foam or fat that rises to the surface to keep the sauce clear and aromatic.

6. 6

   Stir in the remaining half of the grated ginger just before the beef is fully cooked to preserve the sharp ginger bite.

7. 7

   Simmer for another 2 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly and the beef is tender.

8. 8

   Serve the beef and onions over bowls of hot rice, drizzling with extra sauce and garnishing with green onions.
