Equipment

large skillet
pan

Ingredients

1 lb. thinly sliced sirloin or rib eye beef ensuring tenderness and succulence
1 cup dashi Japanese soup stock for a complex and savory base
2 large onions thinly sliced for a caramelized and sweet flavor profile
4 eggs for a luscious and creamy finish
6 tbsp. mirin sweet rice wine to add a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor
4 tbsp. sake Japanese rice wine for a mild and aromatic essence
6 tbsp. soy sauce for a savory and umami-rich taste
4 cups cooked Japanese rice providing a fluffy and slightly sticky texture
4 green onions thinly sliced for a fresh and mildly pungent garnish
4 tbsp. sugar to balance the flavors and impart a hint of sweetness
2 tsp. vegetable oil to enhance the cooking process and ensure a delightful mouthfeel

Instructions

Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat and adding vegetable oil.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until it starts to brown.
Once the beef is cooked, transfer it to a separate plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add onions and cook until they are soft and browned, about 5 minutes.
In a separate pan, cook the eggs sunny-side up or scramble them and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar to create the ojyu sauce.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with onions and pour in the ojyu sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes to let the flavors combine.
Serve the beef and onions over a bed of cooked Japanese rice.
Top each plate with a cooked egg and garnish with thinly sliced green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Here are a few tips and tricks to help you make the perfect beef ojyu:

– Make sure to slice the beef as thinly as possible for the best texture and flavor.

– Use a good quality soy sauce for the best flavor.

– Mirin is sweet, so adjust the amount to suit your tastes.

– If you can’t find ponzu sauce, you can use a mixture of soy sauce and lemon juice.

– You can also use other vegetables in this dish, such as bell peppers, bok choy, or cabbage.

– For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.

– You can serve the beef ojyu with rice or noodles for a more filling meal.
