Ingredients
- 300 g thinly sliced beef rolls
- 1 red onion
- 1 egg
- 1 bowl steamed white rice
- 3 tbsp teriyaki sauce
- 1 tbsp cooking wine
- to taste black sesame seeds
- to taste chopped parsley
Instructions
- 1Blanch the beef
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the thin, raw beef slices. Briefly blanching the beef in boiling water helps to cook it evenly and prepare it for stir-frying.
Tip: Do not overcook the beef at this stage; it will finish cooking in the stir-fry pan. - 2Add cooking wine
While the beef is boiling, pour in a few splashes of cooking wine. This helps to neutralize any raw meat odor and adds depth to the flavor.
Tip: Ensure the wine is evenly distributed to help remove the raw smell effectively. - 3Remove the beef
Once the beef is cooked, use a wire skimmer to carefully lift the slices out of the boiling water. Transfer them to a clean plate or bowl to set aside.
Tip: Briefly rinsing the beef in the water before removing can help ensure it is clean and ready for the next step. - 4Stir-fry the onions
In a separate pan or wok, heat a little oil and add the sliced red onions. Stir-fry them over medium heat until they become soft and translucent.
Tip: Red onions add a nice sweetness that pairs perfectly with the savory teriyaki sauce. - 5Combine beef and onions
Once the onions have softened, add the previously blanched beef slices into the wok. Mix them well with the onions so they are evenly distributed.
Tip: Keep the heat moderate to ensure the ingredients are heated through without burning. - 6Add teriyaki sauce
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the beef and onions. Increase the heat to high and stir constantly to let the sauce bubble and thicken, coating everything thoroughly.
Tip: Allowing the sauce to bubble on high heat helps the flavors caramelize and absorb into the beef. - 7Glaze the beef
Stir everything constantly over high heat until the sauce reduces and creates a glossy coating over the ingredients.
Tip: Using high heat helps the sauce thicken quickly and glaze the meat evenly without overcooking it. - 8Prepare the rice base
Fill a serving bowl with steamed white rice. Carefully place a freshly fried sunny-side-up egg directly on top of the rice, positioning it in the center to serve as the focal point for the dish.
Tip: Make sure the rice is hot so it stays warm while you finish plating the rest of the ingredients. - 9Assemble the teriyaki beef
Take the cooked teriyaki beef and onions and arrange them in the bowl around the fried egg. Distribute the mixture evenly so that the rich, flavorful sauce touches the rice and egg.
Tip: Arrange the beef to create a circular border around the egg for a professional, restaurant-style presentation.
