What is Gyudon
Gyudon is a popular Japanese dish of beef and vegetables on top of rice.
It is generally simmered in a sweet and fragrant sauce and served with garlic, green onions, sesame seeds, etc.
Gyudon is a quick and easy dish that’s perfect for a busy weeknight.
Gyudon is a dish that originated in Japan in the 1800s and was originally made with horse meat.
However, beef became the main ingredient in gyudon in the early 1900s and has been the main protein in gyudon ever since.
Thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin is common, but any cut of beef can be used.
Beef is simmered in a dashi-based sauce with soy sauce, mirin, and sugar added.
This sauce creates the characteristic sweetness and umami of gyudon.
