Gyudon

July 4, 2011 by Jaida Leave a Comment

For this 4th of July weekend, I decided not to try anything fancy or new on the menu so that we could just have a relaxing weekend. K will be going out of town for work on the 5th for 4 days so I want to spend some time with him before he goes.

I don’t have very many repeat recipes on my menu, not because I don’t have ones that are worthy but rather because I am always looking for and trying new ones. This one however, I am still trying to perfect. If you’ve been following me for awhile, you may remember that I have tried to make this dish a couple of times, but I’m still trying to get the meat sliced thin enough. Well, this time I think we got pretty stinkin’ close. Hallelujah. The broth tasted good, and the texture seemed right. I’m not sure I will ever be able to make it quite as good as Yoshinoya in Japan does, but I will try to get it as close as  possible!!

For some additional prep pictures see the original post here.

Gyudon

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups cooked plain Japanese rice (long grain white rice works fine…just cook completely and let it sit to get sticky)
  • 1 lb thinly sliced beef
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 1/3 cu Dashi
  • 5 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons mirin
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sake

Preparation:

  1. Cook rice
  2. Slice onion thinly
  3. Cut beef very thin, in bite-sized pieces
  4. Make Dashi (as directed on package)
  5. Put Dashi, soy sauce, sugar, mirin & sake in a pan
  6. Add onion slices and simmer for a few minutes
  7. Add beef and simmer for a couple of minutes – do not overcook!
  8. Serve beef mixture over hot rice

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
