Beef and Marinade

Method

Preparation of Marinade

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Cooking the Beef

  1. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    Place the thinly sliced beef in the marinade. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.

  2. 3

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat, add the marinated beef along with the marinade. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.

Serving Gyudon

  1. 4

    Prepare the Rice

    While the beef is cooking, prepare the sushi rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Gyudon

    Divide the sushi rice among serving bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked beef and sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions, pickled ginger, toasted sesame seeds, and nori strips.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your homemade Gyudon!
