Wagyu Roast Beef Donburi
Report
This easy stove-top roast beef donburi (rice bowl) is covered with melt-in-your-mouth slices of Wagyu roast beef with a sweet and savory onion sauce. Tangy wasabi cream sauce adds spicy contrast to the rich meat, and it's all topped off with a golden egg yolk.

Ingredients
For roast beef
- 460 grams beef chuck flap (3" x 3" x 6")
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup water
For wasabi cream sauce
- ¼ cup Japanese mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons wasabi (freshly grated or in a tube)
For onion sauce
- 70 grams onion (⅓ cup grated)
- ¼ cup sake
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons evaporated cane sugar
For donburi
- 1 batch cooked short-grain rice
- 2 scallions (chopped)
- black pepper (to taste)
- 3 large eggs (optional)
Instructions
- Sprinkle all sides of the beef with the salt and let it come up to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- To make the tangy wasabi cream sauce, mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and wasabi in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
- When the beef is ready, use paper towels to wipe off any liquid on the surface. If your beef is lean, you'll need to rub a generous coating of oil on the meat.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat until it's hot but not scorching. Place the beef in the pan and let it brown on one side, undisturbed.
- Roll the beef onto the next side and let it brown before repeating until all 4 long sides of the beef are browned. Check the side of the beef; it should be cooked about ¼ of the way through on every side.
- Use a paper towel to soak up any excess oil in the pan, and then add ¼ cup of water and quickly cover the pan with a lid. Turn down the heat to low and steam for 8-12 minutes or until the beef reaches 120°F (49°C).
- Flip the roast beef over once halfway through steaming.
- When the meat has hit 120°F (or 130°C if you want medium rare), remove it from the pan and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
- To make the onion sauce, add the grated onions to the pan you roasted the beef in. Turn up the heat to medium and saute them until they're golden brown (~4 minutes). If your beef is lean, you may need to add some oil to the pan.
- When the onions are golden brown, deglaze the pan with the sake.
- When the mixture no longer smells like alcohol, add the soy sauce and sugar. Boil the mixture until it starts to thicken.
- Once the roast beef is done resting, use a sharp knife to slice it as thinly as possible.
- To assemble the roast beef don, split the rice between 3 large bowls and mound it up. Drizzle some onion sauce onto the rice.
- Layer the roast beef around the rice and make an indentation in the center.
- Drizzle the onion sauce on the beef, then sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper and chopped scallions.
- Drizzle some of the wasabi cream sauce on one side of the rice bowl, and then top each donburi with an egg yolk.
