Ingredients

Servings

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • ½ tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp garlic paste or 1 crushed clove
  • 1 tsp ginger paste or grated fresh ginger
  • ½ tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • ½ tbsp white sesame seeds
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp apple juice

Yakiniku Don

  • 300 g thinly sliced beef or meat of your choice
  • 2 portions cooked Japanese short-grain rice
  • 2 tsp finely chopped green onions to garnish
  • 2 soft-boiled eggs or egg yolk, pasteurized, optional

Instructions

  1. Measure out all of the sauce ingredients (2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, ½ tbsp ketchup, 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp garlic paste, 1 tsp ginger paste, ½ tbsp toasted sesame oil, ½ tbsp white sesame seeds, ½ tsp chili powder, ¼ tsp ground black pepper, ¼ tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp apple juice) into a small bowl and mix thoroughly.
  2. Heat a frying pan on high. Once hot, add a small drizzle of oil and 300 g thinly sliced beef. Sear on both sides (don't cook all the way through).
  3. Once seared, add the sauce and stir fry the meat for 1 minute 30 seconds. Mix continuously to prevent burning.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and prepare 2 portions cooked Japanese short-grain rice. Arrange the meat on top of the rice and drizzle the sauce in the pan over the top.
  5. Sprinkle each bowl with chopped spring onion and place an egg yolk or boiled egg on top (optional).
  6. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To add vegetables to this dish, use the same pan and fry them to your desired softness before adding the beef and sauce.
  • This recipe was updated with an improved sauce in August 2024. You can find the original recipe on my youtube video here.
