Quick Beef Bowl
Posted April 17th, 2011 in Food 3 Comments »Beef donburi, gyu-don, is one of Japanese popular donburi dish. I’m sure you sometimes order this at Japanese restaurants (if you like beef).
Normally, gyu-don is simmered beef and onion dish in sweet soy sauce flavoured dashi broth. This recipe, however, doesn’t require dashi broth and simmering process. It’s more like a stir-fried dish (with plenty of sauce/broth/juice from the beef and onions). It’s a quick meal, and taste great 🙂
<Quick Beef Bowl> serves 4~8
- 500g beef, thinly sliced
- 2 onions (medium size)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tbs sesame oil

This entry made me miss the cheap gyudons in Japan! すきや牛丼!
I made this tonight for dinner. It was very good and very easy to make. I didn’t have sake so I used cooking sherry. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I put away the meat I took out to defrost and took out meat for this as soon as I saw it and I’m glad I did. I served it with a salad. Wonderful! I can’t wait to try the other recipes here.
Hi Ilysee
