How to Make Beef Donburi California Style Beef Rice Bowl
- Cut 1 lb beef sirloin into very thin, bite-sized pieces.
- Cut 1 medium onion into 8 wedges.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the beef and sauté for 2 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Add 2 tablespoons sugar, 4 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons mirin, 2 tablespoons white wine (or sake), 1 tablespoon red wine, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup water to the pan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, simmer, and skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Continue to simmer until the sauce has reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes. The sauce should thicken slightly.
- Serve the beef mixture over 2-3 cups of cooked rice. Evenly distribute the sauce over the rice.
- Garnish with 1-2 tablespoons of pickled red ginger and a generous sprinkle of shichimi togarashi.
