Sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin sweet sake
- 1 tbsp regular soy sauce

Instructions
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, marinate the beef with mirin, sake, regular soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and cornstarch. Allow the beef to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and minced garlic, and sauté until they turn golden brown and fragrant.
- Once the onions and garlic are caramelized, add the marinated beef to the skillet. Spread it out evenly to ensure each slice cooks evenly.
- Add water and allow the beef to cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Build Your Bowl: cook your steamed rice. Once the rice is ready, spoon it into individual serving bowls. Top each bowl with a generous portion of the beef.
- Garnish your Gyudon bowls with an egg yolk, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, thinly sliced green onions, and Japanese pickled ginger. These vibrant garnishes not only add visual appeal but also enhance the dish’s flavor profile.
