🛒 Ingredients

✓ 8 oz lean beef sirloin, thinly sliced
✓ 1 medium yellow onion, sliced into half-moons
✓ 1 cup cooked short-grain white rice
✓ 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
✓ 2 tablespoons mirin (or 1.5 tablespoons honey)
✓ 1 tablespoon sake (or dry white wine)
✓ 1 teaspoon dashi powder dissolved in 1/4 cup water
✓ 1 teaspoon sesame oil
✓ 1 clove garlic, minced
✓ 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
✓ 1 teaspoon vegetable oil for cooking
✓ 2 green onions, chopped for garnish
✓ 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish
✓ Pinch of shichimi togarashi (optional chili powder)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

4. Add sliced onions and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn translucent.

5. Increase heat to high. Add sliced beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring, allowing it to sear slightly.

6. Stir the beef and onions together, breaking up any clumps, and cook for another 2 minutes until beef is mostly cooked through.

7. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and sauce to thicken slightly.

8. Drizzle sesame oil over the beef and onion mixture and stir gently to combine.

9. Divide the beef and onion mixture evenly over the two bowls of rice.

10. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and optional shichimi togarashi. Serve immediately.
