❤️ About This Gyudon, Beef Rice Bowl Recipe

I really like quick and easy recipes, especially on busy weeknights. The less time spent washing and chopping ingredients, the better.

This beef rice bowl recipe perfectly fits the bill. I only need to chop the onion and coriander, and the ultra-thin beef slices come straight from the freezer. It leaves minimal mess to clean up in the kitchen.

🍳 Ingredients for Gyudon, Beef Rice Bowl

  • Onion: Red onions taste a bit sweeter and more delicate, but you can use brown onions instead.
  • Beef Slices: I usually find the thinly sliced and well-marbled beef in the frozen section of Asian supermarkets. You don’t need to defrost them as they are so thin. They’re sliced paper-thin, which helps them cook faster while allowing them to soak up all the delicious flavors.
  • Eggs: I enjoy runny eggs that taste great when mixed with rice and beef. You can cook the egg to your preferred level of doneness.
