Homemade Yoshinoya-Style Gyudon (Beef Rice Bowl)

My son loves Yoshinoya and used to go there a lot. (One reason is that we have one really close to our house...) I thought I could make it at home using cheap cuts of beef, and after several tries I got to this recipe
When I finally got it right, so here it is!
You start by making the caramel. The caramel doesn't have to be dark brown, just as long as it has some color. You don't have to add garlic, but ginger is essential or it won't taste right. A dash of white wine is the secret to Yoshinoya beef bowls. For 3 to 4 servings. Recipe by smapkayo
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make the caramel sauce. Put the sugar and 1 tablespoon of water in a pan and simmer. It's cooked enough when it is lightly golden in color.
- 2
When it starts to smell like caramel, swirl the sauce around the pan and take it off the heat. Add the wine and mirin, return to the heat and cook off the alcohol. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients.
- 3
Cut the onion in half and slice against the grain 5-7 mm wide. Cut the beef into 2-3 cm wide pieces.
- 4
Add the sauce made in Step 2. When it comes to a boil, add the onion.
- 5
When the onion is softened, add the beef and simmer.
- 6
Take out the ginger and garlic. Leave the pan as-is with a lid on until it's time to eat, to let the flavors penetrate.
- 7
When you're ready to eat, heat up the contents of the pan, and serve over rice garnished with some beni shouga red pickled ginger.
