Step 1
Slice the onion into thin wedges and set aside.

Chop the green onions finely and, if using, the mizuna or arugula. Set aside for garnishing.

In a medium-sized pot, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, and dashi stock. Stir to dissolve the sugar.

Step 8
While the beef is cooking, prepare your bowls of cooked gluten-free rice.
Step 9
Once the beef is done, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For added sweetness, you may add another teaspoon of sugar, or for more saltiness, a splash more soy sauce.
