De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1. 1

   Prepare the beef by slicing it very thinly against the grain. If the beef is difficult to slice, place it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up.

   Ongeveer 10 min

   Tip van de kok: Freezing the beef slightly makes it much easier to get super thin slices.

2. 2

   Thinly slice the yellow onion.

   Ongeveer 3 min

3. 3

   In a medium skillet or shallow pot, combine the dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

   Add the sliced onion to the simmering sauce and cook for about 3-5 minutes, until the onions soften.
