⏱️ Prep & Cook Time

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Servings: 2–3

🧂 Ingredients

  • 1 lb thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin, shaved for sukiyaki)
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cooked short-grain rice
  • 1 cup dashi stock (or water with ½ tsp dashi powder)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tbsp sake (or white wine substitute)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 green onion, sliced (for garnish)
  • Optional: pickled red ginger (beni shoga) for topping

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sauce

In a pan, combine dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and grated ginger. Bring to a light simmer over medium heat.

Step 2: Add Onions

Add the sliced onions and cook for about 5 minutes, until they become soft and translucent.

Step 3: Add the Beef

Step 4: Assemble the Gyudon

  1. Place hot steamed rice in serving bowls.
  2. Spoon the beef and onion mixture over the rice.
  3. Drizzle with a little of the cooking sauce for extra flavor.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

Top with green onions and pickled red ginger (beni shoga).
Serve hot with miso soup or Japanese potato salad on the side.

🍳 Serving Suggestions

  • Add a soft-poached egg (onsen tamago) or raw egg yolk on top for a traditional touch.
  • Serve with steamed veggies or miso soup for a balanced meal.
  • Great for bento boxes or quick lunches!

❓ FAQs About Gyudon Recipe

Q1: What is Gyudon?
A1: Gyudon literally means “beef bowl” — a popular Japanese dish made with thinly sliced beef and onions simmered in a sweet and savory sauce served over rice.

Q2: What kind of beef is best for Gyudon?
A2: Use thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin. Shabu-shabu or sukiyaki-cut beef works perfectly.

Q3: Can I make Gyudon without dashi?
A3: Yes, substitute dashi with beef broth or water mixed with soy sauce and mirin for similar umami flavor.

Q4: What toppings go well with Gyudon?
A4: Popular toppings include poached egg, pickled ginger, green onions, or a sprinkle of shichimi togarashi (Japanese chili powder).

Q5: Can I meal prep Gyudon?
A5: Definitely! Store the beef and sauce separately from rice in airtight containers. Reheat before serving. Keeps for up to 3 days in the fridge.

🍱 Pro Tips for Perfect Gyudon

  • Use Kobe or Wagyu beef for premium flavor.
  • Simmer onions slowly for a naturally sweet taste.
  • Don’t overcook beef — it should stay tender.
  • Drizzle a few drops of sesame oil before serving for extra aroma.
