Ingredients

  • 2 tbsps. cooking oil
  • 2 onions sliced into strips
  • 700 grams beef sukiyaki/bacon cut

Instructions

  • Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl until the sugar is melted. Set aside.
  • Use a medium-sized pan or wok and heat it up to medium-high heat.
  • Place the oil on the pan and saute the onion until it is soft and translucent.
  • Add the beef and sugar. Mix and cook until the beef is no longer pink. Be careful not to overcook!
  • Add the sauce, mix, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.

Putting the rice bowl together

  • This recipe makes up 6 servings. Bring out 6 bowls and put (at least) 1 cup of rice each.
  • Top with the beef gyudon you just cooked.

Notes

Your beef gyudon rice bowl is now ready to serve. 
Some people like it with an egg, if that is the case there are two things you can do:
  1. right before preparing the rice bowls, pour the 6 beaten eggs into the beef and mix it.
  2. serve a raw egg with the rice bowl and have each person crack the egg over their own bowl and mix it themselves.
For the second option, this only works well if the rice and beef are freshly cooked/still hot.
