Recipe

A A A

• 2 cups short- or medium-grain rice
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp sake
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
• pickled ginger slices (optional)

• 1 In a 4-quart pan, bring 3 cups water to a boil. Add rice and salt. Cover and reduce heat to simmer, then cook until almost tender, 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
• 2 In a small pan, bring soy sauce, sugar, sake, and 3/4 cup water to a boil. Remove from heat and reserve.
• 3 In a 10-inch frying pan over high heat, cook onion in oil until it begins to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add beef and continue stirring for 2 minutes, then add 1/2 cup of soy-sake sauce and stir until beef is cooked, 2 minutes longer.
• 4 Divide rice among 4 bowls. Top with beef, remaining sauce, and cilantro. Serve with ginger, if desired.
