Description
Thinly sliced beef and onion braised quickly in a sweet soy-mirin-sake mixture and served over a bowl of hot jasmine or Japanese short-grain rice. Gyudon is Japan's most consumed fast food — the preparation sold at Yoshinoya, Matsuya, and Sukiya chains for under ¥500 is at its best a quick, deeply satisfying combination of savoury-sweet beef, soft onion, and the plain rice that absorbs the flavoured cooking liquid. Its home version is made within 15 minutes and requires no special technique beyond the correct beef cut and the sweet-soy seasoning balance.
