If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, this would be it. It is a Japanese dish, essentially onions and beef simmered in a sweet beef stock served over rice. The original Japanese recipe calls for dashi instead of beef stock. Dashi is a simple Japanese stock made from dried bonito flakes, a fish, and kelp. I find the beef stock version a bit more to my liking. Sake is a Japanese rice wine, available in any liquor store. Mirin is a sweet rice wine, Kikkoman makes an acceptable version called Aji-Mirin, available in most supermarkets.
Ingredients:
2 cups white rice, cooked
1 1/4 cups low sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons sake
3 tablespoons mirin
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 medium onion, sliced very thin
7 ounces sirloin beef, sliced as thin as possible
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 eggs, lightly beaten
Directions:
1. Combine the beef stock, sake and mirin in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the sugar, stir until it dissolves. Reduce the heat to low and cook 5 minutes.
2. Add the onion, cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the beef, cook for 2 minutes. Add soy sauce and cook an additional 3 minutes.
3. Pour the eggs over the top, do not stir! Cover pan with a lid and let cook 2 minutes.
4. Serve over cooked rice.
