Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 60 mins
Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 300g wagyu beef, sliced
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sake
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 green onion, chopped
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Slice the 300g wagyu beef into thin strips, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking. Chop the green onion and set aside for garnish. Cook 2 cups of rice according to package instructions and keep warm.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. This will be your marinade for the wagyu beef.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced wagyu beef to the pan. Since wagyu is very fatty, you may not need to add any oil to the pan.
- Cook the wagyu beef for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. The beef should be browned but still tender and juicy. Be careful not to overcook it, as wagyu can become tough if cooked too long.
- Once the beef is nearly cooked, pour the marinade mixture over the beef in the pan. Stir well to ensure all the beef is coated. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together and the sauce thicken slightly.
- While the beef is finishing, prepare your serving bowls. Place a generous portion of cooked rice at the bottom of each bowl.
- Once the wagyu beef is cooked to perfection, spoon the beef along with the sauce over the rice in each bowl.
- Garnish each bowl with the chopped green onion and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious Wagyu Roast Beef Bowl!
Tips
- Choose Quality Wagyu: For the best flavor and texture, select high-quality wagyu beef. Look for marbling, which indicates tenderness and richness.
- Slice Thinly: Ensure your wagyu beef is sliced into uniform, thin strips for even cooking. This helps to retain its juiciness and allows for quick cooking.
- Don’t Overcook: Wagyu beef cooks quickly due to its fat content. Aim for a cooking time of 2-3 minutes to keep it tender. Remember, it should be browned but still juicy!
- Let the Marinade Work: Allow the beef to sit in the marinade for a few minutes before cooking if time permits. This will enhance the flavor even more.
- Garnish Generously: Don’t skimp on the green onion and sesame seeds! They add a fresh crunch and elevate the dish visually and flavor-wise.
- Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve the bowls hot right after assembling. The warmth of the beef and rice creates a comforting dish that’s hard to resist.
