This dish makes me nostalgic for Japan! - Megan
4 servings - 30 minutes
Ingredients
- Neutral oil
- 2 medium onions
- 1 lb ver thinly sliced beef (like fatty beef chuck or ribeye)
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 cup dashi stock
- 1 scallion
- toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
- (optional) fried eggs, for serving
Recipe
Prep
- Thinly slice the onions along the grain to preserve structure.
- Finely chop the scallion and set aside.
Cooking
- Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, and cook the sliced onions for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the beef and sugar, and cook until the beef is slightly browned. Add the mirin, soy sauce, and stock (start with 1/2 a cup of stock and add more as needed). Bring to a simmer, and cook for about 10-15 minutes to reduce the stock into a thin sauce. Taste for seasoning, and add a little more soy sauce if needed.
- While the beef is simmering, in a separate skillet, fry an egg for each serving as desired.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve with steamed rice and a fried egg, if desired.
