miso gyudon

Gyudon usually comes with thin sliced beef, but this time I used cubed steak meat, marinated in miso sauce. It's cooked to medium rare so it's like eating steak (with cheaper cut of meat). If you are craving for meat, but got tight budget, this recipe is for you. :) 

Ingredients:

Beef - 1 lbs
Onion - 1 med (sliced)

[Miso marinade]
Miso - 2 TBS
Soy sauce - 2 tsp
Sugar - 2 tsp
Salt & Pepper - 1/2 tsp each
Mirin - 1 TBS
Sake (optional) - 2 tsp

Rice - 2 cups

Prep:

1. Cut beef into cubes (1/2 inch cube). Marinade in a bowl for about an hour.
2. Thin slice onion.
3. Cook rice 

Cook:

1. On a frying pan or wok, heat 1 TBS of olive oil. When it's hot, fry onion until translucent (about 3 minutes). Add in beef and fry for 2 minutes. Flip and fry the other side for another minute or so. 
2. Mix 1 TBS of water in the marinade bowl or bag. Mix well. Pour into the frying pan. 
3. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.

Serve:

• Serve over hot rice. 
• It goes well with grilled veggies or salad
