Beef Udon
Report
Beef Udon, or Niku Udon in Japanese, is a classic comfort food that will warm you up and power you through the day. In my Beef Udon recipe, I serve thick udon noodles in a steamy bowl of dashi broth topped with tender beef simmered in a flavorful sauce.

Ingredients
For udon noodle soup
- 2 ½ cups dashi stock
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
- 2 ervings udon noodles
- shichimi togarashi (optional, for garnish)
For beef
- ½ cup dashi stock
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon evaporated cane sugar
- 225 grams beef
- 60 grams scallions (4 scallions, whites, and greens sliced separately on the bias)
Instructions
- To make the udon soup, bring the dashi and soy sauce to a boil. Taste it and add more salt if necessary. Set this on a back burner over low heat to keep it warm. Put another pot of water on to boil for the noodles.
- To make the beef, add the dashi, sake, soy sauce, sugar, and white parts of the scallions to a frying pan and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add the beef and separate the sheets of meat, so they don't clump together. Turn down the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cook the meat, stirring until it's tender and there is almost no liquid remaining (about 15 minutes).
- Add the udon noodles to the boiling water based on the time they need to cook. For example, if your noodles take 2 minutes to cook, you'll want to add them when the beef is 2 minutes away from being done.
- When the beef is tender, add the scallion greens and stir them in.
- Split the soup between two bowls.
- Drain the udon and split the noodles between the two bowls.
- Finish the Beef Udon by topping both bowls with the meat and pouring over any remaining sauce in the pan. Garnish with shichimi togarashi to taste.
