• 0.5 lbs Beef ribeye or chuck, paper-thinly sliced
• 0.5 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Dashi stock
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Mirin
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 1 tbsp Sake(optional)
• 2 bowls Steamed white rice

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium skillet or pot, combine the dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add the sliced onions to the liquid and cook for 3-5 minutes until they begin to soften.

3. 3

   Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet, spreading the pieces out so they cook evenly. Simmer for about 3-4 minutes until the beef is just cooked through and the sauce has reduced slightly.

4. 4

   Skim off any foam or fat that rises to the surface for a cleaner taste.

5. 5

   Divide the steamed rice into two deep bowls.

6. 6

   Top each bowl with the beef and onion mixture, pouring a generous amount of the simmering liquid over the rice.

7. 7
