Gyu-don – Sweet and salty beef with rice

 

In Japan, there are a lot of donburi dishes. Donburi means a bowl of rice with food on top. Popular and famous ones are oyako-don (eggs and chicken), ten-don (tempura on top of rice), katsu-don (deep fried pork cutlet on rice), and this, gyu-don. If you like the gyu-don restaurant すき家(Sukiya), you should try this recipe. You will be surprised how easy it is to recreate this juicy and delicious flavor.
