instructions
    1

    Start by cooking your rice. Rinse 2 cups of rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions, which typically takes about 20 minutes.

    2

    While the rice cooks, thinly slice your onion and beef. Make sure the beef is sliced against the grain for tenderness.

    3

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced onions and sauté them for about 3 minutes until they become translucent.

    4

    Next, add the sliced beef to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until it is browned and fully cooked, stirring frequently.

    5

    In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of mirin, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and the grated ginger clove. Mix well to create your sauce.

    6

    Once the beef is cooked, pour the sauce mixture over the beef and onions in the skillet. Stir everything together and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    7

    After the rice is finished cooking, serve a generous scoop of rice on each plate. Top with the beef and onion mixture from the skillet.

    8

    Garnish with sliced green onions before serving for a fresh finish.
