Gyudon (Japanese Beef Rice Bowl)
A donburi is a delicious and easy-to-make bowl of sushi rice. There are a number of variations depending on the toppings.
I haven't had the the beef version or 'gyudon' before but I had some leftover steak from my 'shooter's sandwich' so I threw this together.
Gyudon (Japanese Beef Rice Bowl) - serves 1
Ingredients of the Dish
1 cup hot cooked sushi rice (unseasoned) or regular cooked rice
1 recipe for 'simmering sauce'
2 oz/ 57 gm thinly sliced leftover steak
2 tbsp leftover onion/mushroom mixture, from the 'Shooter's Sandwich'**
poached egg (optional)
garnishes - thinly sliced green onion, toasted black or white sesame seeds
** In the absence of the onion/mushroom mixture, half and thinly slice 1/3-1/2 medium onion and poach in the simmering sauce until soft before adding the sliced steak to warm through.
Simmering Sauce
1/2 cup dashi stock (or 1/2 cup water and 1 tsp dashi powder, or 1/2 cup chicken stock)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp mirin
1 tbsp sugar (brown sugar may be used)
1 tbsp sake (dry white wine may be used)
1/2 tsp wasabi paste (optional)
Simmer together in a small pan or wok.
Assembly/Serving the Rice Bowl
Add the hot cooked rice to a deep bowl.
To the pan of simmering sauce, add the steak and onion/mushroom mixture and stir through just long enough to warm the steak through. With a slotted spoon, transfer the steak and onion/mushroom mixture to the top of the hot rice, leaving behind the majority of the simmering sauce. You may poach the egg in the sauce, place it on top of the steak in the bowl and then spoon the sauce around the periphery of the bowl. Scatter the green onion and/or sesame seed garnish on top. Serve.
An alternative to poaching the egg is to lightly scramble it in a small bowl, and then add it to the simmering sauce in the wok. Stir the egg through the sauce just long enough to cook/poach the egg and then spoon the egg and the sauce around the periphery of the bowl. Garnish and serve.
Some more pretty pics of the Shooter's Sandwich ... next time, I'd put the mushroom underneath the steak to make cutting neater
