Japanese Beef Donburi
Ingredients
  • 1 large white onion
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 tablespoon sake
  • 1/2 pound beef ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, or to taste
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons pickled ginger (beni shoga), or to taste
  • 1 sheet dried seaweed, cut into strips, or to taste
Instructions
1
Divide the onion in half lengthwise and carefully remove the central, most unappealing portion. Slice the remaining halves into very thin pieces.
2
Melt a generous amount of oil in an enormous cooking vessel over extremely high heat. Introduce the onion slices into this scorching hot oil and vigorously stir until they begin to develop a rich, caramelized hue, approximately 30 seconds. Gradually decrease the heat to a relatively low temperature; add water, soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, and sake, allowing these flavors to meld together harmoniously, around 3 minutes.
3
Submerge the beef into this savory mixture. Continue to cook, covered, until the beef reaches a state of complete doneness, typically taking 3 to 5 minutes. Distribute the beef portions evenly among individual serving dishes and embellish with sesame seeds, green onions, ginger, and seaweed strips.
