Cooking With Dog Gyudon Food

GYUDON

Steps:

• Pour 1 cup water into a 12-inch skillet. Add the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar and instant dashi powder, stir to combine and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the onions and simmer, stirring once or twice, until they start to soften, about 3 minutes.
• Raise the heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil. Add the beef and cook, turning the slices often with tongs, until the meat is barely cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes. For the tenderest texture, cook the meat as little as possible.
• Divide the rice among 4 bowls and top with equal portions of the beef and sauce. Top with an egg if using. Garnish with the scallions. Add shichimi togarashi and pickled red ginger, if using.

GYUDON

Steps:

• Cut beef crosswise into 2 pieces, then set your beef in the freezer for at least 1 hour to freeze until firm. Once the beef is very firm, slice it very thinly against the grain, ideally about 1/8-inch thick. Set aside at room temperature.
• Bring 1 1/4 cups water to a boil in a large skillet. Whisk in instant dashi until combined.
• Add the soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar, stir to combine, and boil over high until flavors meld and mixture starts to reduce, about 8 minutes. Add the sliced onion and cook over medium until onion just starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the beef and cook, turning the sliced beef frequently using tongs, until beef is just barely cooked and loses any traces of pink, about 3 minutes. Stir in the fresh ginger and cook for 1 more minute.
• Divide rice among bowls and top with beef mixture and any juices. Serve with pickled ginger and sprinkle with togarashi, if desired.
