Topped with a fresh, raw egg yolk, the dish transforms into a silky, indulgent meal that is as quick to prepare as it is delicious.
Ingredients
- 200 g M3-grade Wagyu beef slices
- 1 white onion
- 1 sterile egg
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 bowl steamed white rice
- optional toasted sesame seeds
- optional chopped green onions
Instructions
- 1Prepare the pan with water
Begin by adding a small amount of water to your pan. This will help to gently parboil the beef slices and ensure they maintain the best possible texture.
Tip: Using a small amount of water helps to evenly cook the thin Wagyu beef slices without toughening them. - 2Parboil the beef
Add your thin M3-grade Wagyu beef slices to the boiling water in the pan. Allow them to parboil briefly until the color of the meat changes, then remove them immediately.
Tip: Keep a close eye on the beef; it only needs a quick parboil to reach the perfect texture. - 3Heat the pan
After clearing the pan, heat it up and add a small amount of cooking oil. Ensure the pan is properly heated before adding your aromatics.
Tip: Wait for the oil to shimmer slightly to ensure the onions will stir-fry well. - 4Sauté the onions
Add the sliced white onions to the heated oil in the pan. Stir-fry them consistently until they become soft and translucent.
Tip: Stir-frying on medium-high heat will help the onions caramelize slightly and develop a sweet flavor. - 5Combine beef and onions
Once the onions are soft, add the parboiled beef slices into the pan. Toss them gently with the onions to combine the flavors.
Tip: The beef is already partially cooked, so this step is primarily to marry the flavors together. - 6Add teriyaki sauce
Pour your prepared teriyaki sauce mixture—consisting of soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, water, and a dash of sesame oil—into the pan. Stir-fry everything on high heat until the sauce has reduced and thickened nicely.
Tip: High heat helps the teriyaki sauce coat the beef and onions quickly, creating a glossy glaze. - 7Assemble the Beef Bowl
Carefully slide the prepared stir-fried beef and onion mixture onto a fresh bowl of steamed white rice. Ensure an even distribution of the beef and savory sauce over the rice.
Tip: A shallow bowl works best to present the layers clearly. - 8Add the Egg Yolk
Gently place a raw, sterile egg yolk directly in the center of the beef and onion mixture. The richness of the yolk will create a silky sauce when mixed with the beef and rice.
Tip: Use high-quality, pasteurized sterile eggs for safety when consuming raw. - 9Garnish and Serve
Finish the dish by evenly sprinkling toasted sesame seeds and freshly chopped green onions over the beef and egg yolk. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor.
Tip: Toast the sesame seeds lightly beforehand to enhance their aroma.
