Answer 2

jbrandtc is right. It's Gyudon. I love it too!

There's an easier/lazier way. Since you're already going to buy dashi and other ingredients, you may check out ready mixed Gyudon Sauce at the Japanese groceries store. I can't remember the name of the brand, but the one I like comes in small containers like a cute tiny milk carton.

There's also these Sukiyaki Sauce that comes in 500ml bottles. The instruction at the back says you can dilute it for Gyudon, but I think you should to add a little Mirin and sugar to make it taste better.

A problem I have encountered is to find the right cut of meat! The ones at average supermarkets are never thin enough. You might wanna get the sliced beef at a Japanese store. I get mine at Chinese stores because it's usually cheaper. (not as premium, but $ saved) You can check out the section where they offer "hot pot" or "steam pot" ingredients at the Chinese or Korean market. They have thin sliced beef ribs, marble beef or extra lean.

Enjoy~

Answer 3

Buy tenderloin beef sirloin cut in thin slices and let soak in a small bowl of soy sauce for like 3 hours. Also add garlic, ginger, and finely chopped onions to the marinade. Cook over a hot wok of frying pan stir fry for like 5 minutes.
