Ingredients

  • 1 pound Thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin
  • 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 0.75 cup Dashi stock
  • 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Mirin
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
  • 2 cloves Minced garlic
  • 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds(optional)
  • 3 cups Steamed short-grain rice

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Place the thinly sliced beef in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it, tossing to coat; let it sit for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    In a large skillet or deep pan, combine the dashi stock with the remaining marinade and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Add the sliced yellow onions to the simmering liquid and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and turn translucent.

  5. 5

    Spread the marinated beef slices evenly over the onions in the pan, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.

  6. 6

    Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, occasionally skimming off any foam that rises to the surface, until the beef is fully cooked and tender.

  7. 7

    Taste the sauce and adjust with a pinch of sugar or soy sauce if needed, then remove from heat.

  8. 8

    Serve the beef and onions over bowls of hot rice, drizzling with the remaining simmering liquid and garnishing with green onions and sesame seeds.
