Ingredients

  • 1 lb Thinly sliced beef ribeye or chuck
  • 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Dashi stock (or beef broth)
  • 3 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Mirin
  • 1.5 tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
  • 1 tbsp Toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp Toasted sesame seeds(optional)
  • 3 cups Steamed white rice

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet or pot, combine the dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and minced garlic.

  2. 2

    Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat and add the sliced onions, cooking until they begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Stir in the gochugaru and sesame oil to infuse the broth with the spicy, smoky Korean flavors.

  4. 4

    Add the thinly sliced beef to the simmering liquid, spreading the pieces out so they cook evenly.

  5. 5

    Simmer for 4-5 minutes, skimming off any foam that rises to the top, until the beef is just cooked through.

  6. 6

    Taste the sauce and adjust the heat with more gochugaru if desired, then stir in half of the green onions.

  7. 7

    Divide the steamed rice into bowls and top generously with the beef and onion mixture, including plenty of the sauce.

  8. 8

    Garnish with the remaining green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
