Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 300 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
- 100 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, green part only, sliced

Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine gluten-free soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sesame oil. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and set aside.
Step 2
In a large pan over medium-high heat, add a touch more sesame oil if needed and add the sliced onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the thinly sliced beef to the pan and cook until the beef begins to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Step 4
Pour the soy sauce mixture and water into the pan with the beef and onions. Add the minced ginger.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium and allow the mixture to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and the sauce has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Divide the cooked rice into four bowls.
Step 7
Spoon the beef and sauce over the rice in each bowl.
Step 8
Garnish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
