Gyudon Recipe Yoshinoya - Beef Rice Bowl

Gyudon Recipe Yoshinoya - Beef Rice Bowl

This dish is a favorite among many Japanese people. It is inexpensive and easy to make. It begins by sautéeing thin slices of beef in oil. Then, add sliced beef, sugar, mirin, soy sauce, and dashi, which is a sweet sauce made with soy. When gyudon is done, the dashi should be diluted with sake, so it won't have a bitter taste.
